Haven't some family members said that they have disowned LW2? Depending upon who wrote the obituary of LW1, that might explain why LW2 was not included as a survivor.
Random thoughts on Welch and his accomplices: Welch could have lured the girls down the railroad track with any request for help, such as finding a lost puppy. As to recent developments, maybe another look at records of his initial call seeking the reward showed the disclosure of something...

Here's the link (the attached pdf) to the person-of-interest, Lloyd Welch aka Mike Welch. He's known to be a drifter, carnival worker, and landscaper who walked along the railroad tracks in the area and he also travelled...
The loading dock tunnel that ran beneath Wheaton Plaza in 1975 has been converted to retail space. Here's a link to a bunch of posts regarding people's memories of various stores that have been at the mall since it opened, and what those stores/spaces were converted to since then...
