Has anyone commented on this before?
IME, people who are artists or musicians tend to have a lot of friends with the same interests or background. I wonder if Beverly's parents still had show business connections in 1951 even if they weren't still involved themselves (where they?). If so, could she met a friend of her parents in the park, or could such a person have been involved with the show? Could she have known that person enough to trust them just that little bit too much?
Is there really any evidence that she ever left the park?
Scenario: Beverly sees a friend of her parents working on the show. He says if she stays until everything has been put away and he will walk her home. By the time the show is ended and all of the equipment put away there might have been virtually nobody else left in the park.
I know that doesn't address the question of the woman reportedly seen with her hand on Beverly's shoulder, but she could have been someone else involved with the show if indeed she existed. But if there was such a woman why did she not come forward afterwards?

In the aforementioned "Twilight of Innocence" book, Robert Wolf, the modern day cold case detective who worked on the case breaks down all the possible scenarios- one of which was exactly what you and a few others mentioned- that maybe she went along willingly with someone she knew and trusted like a fireman, policeman, or clergyman for example. The book answered a lot of questions for me with it's abundance of information, some of which I had never come across in previous research. Definitely worth the read and a high recommend for anyone with an avid interest in this case. For example I didn't realize one of the last photos of her was taken 5 days before she went missing.
