The killer is either the father or step father of the victim. This man is also the father of the victim's child. As the victim was close to full term with the child, the man concerned that the child would look like him has decided to "dispose" of his daughter/step daughter. To do this, the man has told the victim that he knows of some "nice folk" that are willing to take the baby. The victim knowing that her father/step father isn't a nice man (possible drunk/abusive to both mother and her) is very sceptical and concerned for the safety. Thinking she may be hurt in some way, and just before leaving with the man to meet the "nice folk", she writes his initals WSR and his year of birth 47 on her arm as a clue if she is hurt, or murdered.
This man would be a Vietnam veteran, he could have served in a special forces unit (Green Berets, Tiger Force). Because of past experience during the way, or maybe because of a "flash back" senerio once the murder was taking place, he would have removed the nose and ears. This was a common tool used during the war to put fear in the enemy. The man being a special forces veteran would have painted the zip black because of habit. Special forces operators and recon soldiers paint all shiny items including zips on their gear black so they don't shine in the sun. The handles would have been removed because of the same reason, all loose gear has to be "taped" down or removed.
If a search of the Vietnam Veteran database is made, look for people with the initals WSR and with a year of birth of 1947. The man would have been with a special forces unit, but don't coun't out main stream infantry units.
The man would have told his partner that the girl has ran away, maybe with the fictional boyfriend. The partner being an abused spouse with low self estem has continued to believe her daughter ran away and would be unaware of the "incest" relationship. The man would have convictions for domestic abuse and dui or drunkeness and may have served jail time. The man if still alive would not be with his partner/victim's mum, or may be deseased due to lifestyle (drink or heart attack). They would have lived in a semi rural area a few hours out of a city (New York state ???). The woman would still be alive and is the key to the whole case, that is if she was made aware of the situation.
