So, I am still curious about the Soho Playgroup that played in that basement.... From what Another New Yorker posted, the basement area they are digging up, where Miller's workshop was, is a different area than the area that used to be the playgroup? Apparently, Etan's sister used to be a part of that playgroup, and I swear one of the playgroup pictures from the 1970's looks a lot like Etan, IMHO. We have been told Etan was given a dollar the night before he went missing for helping Miller out with something in 'the basement'.
I am just trying to understand how comfortable Etan would have been in that building, and perhaps how he could have ended up there on the day he had to be feeling all grown up and excited because of being allowed to walk to his school bus by himself for the first time. What would have distracted him to walk to that basement? :waitasec:
