I believe the "chickadee" on the plate is actually a loon.
1. Maine and NH also have veteran plates---that are white background---Maine's has an American flag on it, I think. There are tons and tons of those on the roads up here.
2. I had the impression that it was a Navy decal/sticker on the plate or frame of plate. Again, though, lots and lots of those up here. The Naval Shipyard is a huge employer, lots of current Navy, Coast Guard, Marine etc PLUS lots of retired who stick around and work as contractors at the Shipyard, or simply stay up here and go on to other jobs but still have decals from their service time on the cars. Add to that, that I believe most personnel seem to live off base....
3. We are close to 95---I like to joke it our only straight road---but it would not be intuitive or natural to get off the highway and end up where the little boy did and there would be plenty of other quicker places to leave the body right off the highway.
4. It sure seems like whoever placed him knew he would be found pretty quickly, so my guess would be that he/she/they did use 95 to head north to Canada or south to the rest of the East Coast and are quite gone. Who would continue to stick around?? So who hasn't been seen this week at the Shipyard or their job??
5. The weather has been terrible up here--raining, wet, super chilly, so I cannot imagine anyone camping by desire this past weekend, but I pass a couple of campgrounds regularly on those roads and am struck by how close they are to where the body was found:

A is Indian River Campground in Eliot and C is Beaver Dam Campground in Berwick.
Just MOO and speculation thrown in for good measure!
Good memories or bad? Like everyone here, this case is killing me.
Look at Kyron's nose and blond boy's nose, blond boy is BLOND Kyron has brown hair, shape of the eyes from what I can see through the glasses are not the right shape, and Kyron has dark eyebrows, where blond boy has almost nothing for eyebrows, not like they were plucked but just thin and light so almost unseeable.
BBM: So, the TOD on the boy would be the middle of the night, around 3-4 a.m.Police continue to refer to the death as “suspicious,” but refused to say how the boy died or if he was murdered. They would not disclose the results of an autopsy conducted Sunday and an official at the Maine Medical Examiner's office said Monday they were withholding all information at the request of the Maine Attorney General's Office.
McDonough said the truck was spotted around 7:30 a.m., about the time police believe the boy's body was left there. He said the boy likely died several hours prior to that.
Police thought they had identified the boy Monday morning based on a tip, McDonough said, but ended up finding the child they were looking for.
That same morning, Maine State Police also issued a beon- the-lookout alert for a family from the Ashland, N.H., area, including a 57-year-old man, a 28-year-old woman and a 5-yearold boy, but called it off after finding the family safe. The alert was issued via fax with instructions to police not to put it out over their radios.

Someone pointed out upthread, that Kyron did not have all his baby teeth as this child is reported to.
I hope that LE will release more information seeing the picture alone has not lead to an ID so far. We know the clothes were walmart but what about the shoes Disney store perhaps. We may be able to narrow down if those shoes are still sold or were discontinued disney does that a lot!
We need more to help with the research since I do not feel that this baby was ever reported to match to any missing children
Boy found dead in Maine remains unidentified despite tips, briefing expected later today
