Possible, but rather doubtful. That time of year the woods are still bare of leaves, and buildings, road traffic, etc. can be seen pretty easily. Also, a search for the boys would be helped by the good visibility.It's a large property, is it possible they took off into the woods and got lost?
And what about this?The Philadelphia John Doe has already been ruled out. There seems to be a decent number of people who left and have never been seen from again who were at this school. The abuse and neglect makes me think some didn't just wander away. They found one patient in a strait jacket and suffocated with styrofoam. This patient was never suppose to be in a strait jacket. One newer case of neglect would be a patient who froze to death. I wouldn't be shocked if some of these missing patients were buried somewhere on the property.
Yes. They went missing from the New Lisbon State School for Retarded Males, now called the New Lisbon Developmental Center. Not everyone with intellectual disability has dysmorphic facial features (i.e. they look 'normal'). Steven had autism and moderate intellectual disability. David had epilepsy and an unspecified mental disability. Neither were capable of taking care of themself and David didn't have his medications. I personally don't believe they were kidnapped, I think they either got lost and died of exposure or were victims of institutional abuse and had their deaths covered up.Is it true that these children were mentally retarded? They look absolutely normal... It's also strange that they kidnap two at the same time... Anyway, I hope they didn't suffer too much when they crossed over to the other side...
rest in peace
"Is it true that these children had an intellectual disability?" ("Retarded" is now considered a pejorative term and widely abolished in all professional practices.)Is it true that these children were mentally retarded? They look absolutely normal...

Also keep in mind back in the day there were far fewer differential diagnoses, many individuals were labeled with the antiquated offensive terms for intellectual disability when they needed permanent residential placement. It is very possible they had any/many other issues that were not understood at the time.Is it true that these children were mentally retarded? They look absolutely normal...

Unfortunately, we don't know much about the boys and what their plans or habits might have been the day they went missing.
