    Identified! PA - Philadelphia - 'Boy in the Box' - 4UMPA - Feb'57 #3 - Joseph Augustus Zarelli

    Whoa. Lots of pertinent information there - specifically the section about "Through a court order, detectives were then able to obtain from the state the birth, death and adoption records of all the children born to the mother between 1944 and 1956." I'm not saying for certain that Joseph was...

    One other thing. As I've now stated in way too many posts, law enforcement's usage of the phrase "siblings from parents on both sides" really feels like a valuable quote from today's presser. So using that little bit of information, what sorts of possibilities can we talk about with respect to...

    This is where my mind went with respect to law enforcement mentioning something about "inaccuracies" on Joseph's birth certficiate. I figured it might have to do with the incorrect spelling of a parent's surname.

    Given that we're likely talking about a Roman Catholic family in the 1950s, yeah - all of this is entirely possible. Law enforcement's usage of the phrase "siblings from parents on both sides" appears to back up the idea that Joseph was born out of wedlock. What happened to him afterward is...

    Now that's some solid information from someone on the ground in the area. Thanks. It probably doesn't come as a surprise, but we don't have as many Zarellis in Austin as you do up in Philly. Heh.

    I agree with this, too. I don't think ANY of the names that've been floated since the press conference had anything to do with Joseph's death.

    In the last thead, I mentioned a theory I had that was based more on feeling than fact. You and I share exactly the same theory, even down to the idea that "the father may not have even known about him." I don't know enough about the issuance of birth certiciates in the 1950s to be sure, but...

    I've wondered this too, but your post addressed it more succinctly than I could've. Thanks!

    Dunno how successful that will be. I mean, they have DNA...

    After 40 years, "Orange Socks" has been identified. No name as of yet, but there should be more information released tomorrow.

    Apologies, as I'm sure this has been discussed somehwere in the previous 59 threads - but has there been news about any sort of online communication between the two girls and anybody "suspicious?" I know that's a vague question - I mean any sort of social media back-and-forth between either...

    Lori Ruff Identified as Kimberly McLean of PA

    It's so amusing to me how we can all look at a photograph and come to such different conclusions. As soon as I saw the yearbook photo this morning, I was blown away by how similar it looked to her Idaho ID. Her eyes and smile look EXACTLY the same to me. Plastic surgery can change someone's...

    I hope someone in the Philadelphia area is making a beeline for the Bishop McDevitt High School library. There are yearbook photos to be found.

    Welp, there it is. It's nice to have a name. I didn't think it was possible, but I'm now even MORE interested in this case. How did Kimberly McLean think to assume the identity of Becky Sue Turner? Did she have any connections to the Tacoma area? Wow.
