Article about the man whose DNA test helped lead to the identification. Philly police identify the ‘Boy in the Box’ from notorious 1957 homicide
But it does mean they believe he was still living in West Philadelphia, correct? And the perpetrator lived there too?I interpreted his comment to mean that JAZ was left in Fox Chase to throw suspicion into that area, and away from West Philadelphia. I figured that’s why LE sounded annoyed— it’s only common sense to leave a murder victim as far from the perpetrators location as possible. There was no hidden meaning there, IMO.

I wonder if that surgery was the reason for the (forgot what it's called) scar on his leg for an IV. He would have had an IV in place for the hernia surgery. If they couldn't find a good vein due to his size or dehydration, they might have done the leg procedure.Right. The scar in his groin sounds like an inguinal hernia repair.

I must sound really stupid, lol. But I do have reason for trying to get solid clarification.
If you clear your cache and your cookies, you should be able to see it. I am not allowed to copy and paste. This also lines up with the woman on TikTok who said she was a granddaughter of someone in the family.
I don't think I've ever heard that.Was there not a couple of witnesses that suggested the bassinet box had been there a while before Joseph's body was placed in it?
I'm fairly good with genealogy and I'm 99% sure I have figured out who Joseph's father is, however, I have no idea how to determine who his mother is.There are people out there who are very good at genealogical research who will undoubtedly figure out who the parents are with a high level of confidence, so I'm taking a wait-and-see approach. I strongly disagree with law enforcement's decision not to name the boy's parents. This case has been the focus of public outrage for nearly seven decades. The public's right to know the truth far outweighs the family's right to privacy, in my opinion.
Incredible. I have a feeling more family members might speak out over time now that this really narrows down who it could be, even if it's to say they disagree with the [scientific and concrete] findings.Article about the man whose DNA test helped lead to the identification.

If an adoption situation would mother not have rights to privacy even if deceased?There are people out there who are very good at genealogical research who will undoubtedly figure out who the parents are with a high level of confidence, so I'm taking a wait-and-see approach.

I've done genealogical research for close to 3 decades now. I think I've found potential relatives, but I know better than to jump to conclusions without seeing records. Did that quite often as a newbie genealogist and regretted it a good 50% of the time. Parents named their children after relatives that were not immediate family members, very, very often.There are people out there who are very good at genealogical research who will undoubtedly figure out who the parents are with a high level of confidence, so I'm taking a wait-and-see approach.
