Something in my mind just clicked when you bith mentioned the shoes. It might be wild speculation but :
Charles Wallace's mother asked to see BCJD's feet because there was something identifiable about them. So, if it is possible that Mrs Wallace either made a mistake or misindentified him on purpose (which I do think possible) then we might assume that Charles Wallace may have had to wear specially made shoes for whatever his foot problem was. If these shoes were specially made then they could probably identify him - it therefore stands to reason that he would get rid of his shoes.
I still find it totally weird that he would write a long note of explanation to his parents, and then leave a note asking for his parents not to be notified. That has never made sense to me at all; like why bother with the long letter to mum and dad, protected in a glass jar, if you don't want them to ever read it?
Firstly to our boy: Apologies for being late this year.
Secondly, thank you all for keeping this case alive.
Thirdly, much if not all that is currently posted on thread 2 has been mentioned, examined and investigated with conclusions drawn for many on Thread 1.
I would strongly advise reading Thread 1 thoroughly and understanding it before bringing up the same subject again on Thread 2 unless it advances the ball.
The suicide note has been dissected in mintuae and everyone has their own opinion on it being a subjective writing.
I myself think he wrote the part to his parents for forgiveness, the part to police to hopefully spare them work, and the part with philosophy, self-examination and self-awareness as an explanation to himself. He tried to understand himself, but when he looked, he wasn't there. He could not feel, he was withdrawn, he had trouble socializing... Imo he had made up his mind that he was a psychopath, although he mentions melancholy, which does not fit in with a psychopath, they are devoid of both happiness and sadness.
While we may speculate at his reasons for taking his life, I'm fairly certain that melancholy did play a part in it.
Lastly, although the county and the sheriff have no records, I located his records for the funeral home through the LDS church genealogy website (Mothe Funeral Home) they had several pages of records pertaining to BCJD all of which I posted on Thread 1, including one handwritten page with the names of people who came to see him to possibly identify him.
Also posted was the email to and response from Mr Mothe Jr, who assured me Woodlawn cemetery did not have damage from Katrina or any other hurricane, apparently the problem was with those buried above ground or in sea level ground turned to mud.
The section BCDJ is buried in, is known to Mr Mothe and he can give a precise location of the remains to the family or to law enforcement. Let me repeat that : HE CAN GIVE A PRECISE LOCATION TO THE FAMILY OR TO LAW ENFORCEMENT.
We found him! I see Mrs Tony no longer posts. The next step is for someone in the USA to contact the Belle Chasse Parish police, get them to open a new case, gather evidence from this thread and newspapers etc. and get a warrant to exhume the remains pending a familial DNA match through possible siblings.
My name was Baudelaire. My boy, I hope we can give you back your name before next year.
