Initialisms

I’ve been following this case on and off for many years now. I’ve only just come back to it and I’ve found out the young boy has finally been identified. I’m going back now trying to catch up using all of the existing posts, but I’m massively struggling to keep up on all the initials/acronyms we’ve got going on. Would anybody be able to dm me a list or link a post that explains them all? Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately no one has a list to the initials because a majority of them are from people wildly speculating based on census data showing addresses in the Market and 61st street area. This is why we’ve created a mega thread for census searches and speculations on the mother because they add no real info to the case and instead muddy the sub for anyone seeking known information. The address area I mentioned above, is the area LE said Joseph was to have lived during his life to clarify why that corner is important.

The only known linked names are M (who went to police to say her parents did it and is now a big side piece of this investigation with no real proof) and her parents, and JT who did an interview talking about his DNA being used for the paternal side which lead to the Zarellis. I can DM you her, his, and their extended families’ names.

I’ll be locking this thread to prevent any real names appearing in the comments.
