Theory #2: Family Abduction by George Waters with George Brody, Part 2

[Dr. Doogie]

Here is a part 2 thread for Theory #2: Family Abduction by George Waters with George Brody and/or Associates .

The other thread had gotten too long.

[Dr. Doogie]

Bump to get this above the old Part 1 thread.

[iNTERESTEDWOMAN]

Just wondering if Sherlock contacted Madyln yet?

[Dr. Doogie]

Just wondering if Sherlock contacted Madyln yet?

Madlyn is currently in a nursing home. We may have mssed our window of opportunity for getting any information from her. SherlockJr is exploring other family members for possible information.

[Annasunc]

According to death records for Margaret, she was born in NJ. However the town in PA where she lived before moving to CA was Doylestown in Bucks County.

Just to put things in geographic perspective, we live in New Jersey (Mercer County, bordering the Delaware River) and my wife had a doctor's appointment today in Doylestown, less than an hour away (Bucks County borders the other side of the river). Please let us know if there's any research we can do for you here; my wife and I are both reporters and are near Trenton, where a lot of state records are kept. Where was Margaret born?

Any word on Madlyn's relatives? Anyone know anything yet? I have a really good angle I'd like to explore but it would be a waist of time if Madlyn is truly Brody's MK's sister.

Actually, if Madlyn is our Margret's sister, then that may be an opportunity to gain information about Brody (which would be our main goal with this tact). I believe that MK and GB knew each other in PA and came to CA together. This means that MK's family may know GB's real name and history. (Is that enough initials to confuse everybody? OK!)

[Cubby]

I'm not sure if this has been asked, but came to mind last night before I fell asleep.

Was Anna aware of who GW was? I remember reading he was not involved in her life after her parents split. Did she have pictures or was shown pictures of him, and would she have recognized him from pictures possibly willingly going off with him?

I don't believe she would have known who he was. There were pictures of him in albums somewhere about, but whether we ever discussed him in Anna's hearing I can't remember. She was a friendly little girl and had not been warned not to speak to strangers. Just this morning I drove out to Purisima canyon with two of my grandchildren who had not seen it, and they marveled at how far off the beaten track it seemed to them (city kids). They also loved coming back to town by the roller-coaster Higgins Canyon route their father and Anna took to and from school every day.

Annasmom: I came up dry for getting Pics of the Harbor back in 1972.I was told the the Harbormaster at Pillar point has some pics. But they have not responded to my e-mails. Sorry I tried.

Sort of off the subject (as we wait for the DNA results)Whether or not a child is warned not to speak to strangers, they probably would anyway.
This is an example of what happened 2 weeks ago when my mom, my daughter, and I went to the mall to see the Easter bunny:
We were in the children's play area at the mall so my daughter could run around. This little girl, who was about 5-6, joined in to play with my daughter...

Little girl: My name is J_______
My mom: Oh, thats my last name! I am Nancy and this is my granddaughter, Parker.
Little girl: Oh really? I can write down my phone number for you!
My mom: :eek: "Well you know thats probably not a good idea because you dont know me"

Fortunately, my mom is an elementary school teacher. She went up to the little girl's father and told him what had happened. He was shocked and said he had told her repeatedly not to talk to strangers and thanked my mom. When we were leaving, I looked over and saw her father giving her the 'talk' and she clearly felt so bad, she was crying and had her head buried in her father's arms. I felt bad but it needed to be done.

I've seen shows on tv where they would have an hidden camera and put a stranger (actor) near children and have them ask for help. Sadly a lot of those children went up to the stranger to help them regardless of whether they knew not to talk to strangers. Scary!

[natasha-cupcake]

Sadly, Grace, that is true. I've always maintained that no child is any match for an adult bent on harming him or her, no matter how well prepared or how well educated the child is regarding "stranger-danger". I, too, saw that news segment where actors played child abductors and were able to entice an alarmingly high number of children to go with them, despite the fact that the kids had been taught not to speak to strangers. The parents were devastated as they sat nearby watching the experiment. I wasn't surprised at the results at all.

Regardless of how much we'd like to think that we can prevent our children from being abducted, there is no 100% guarantee that we can do so. Just look at poor Anna, who was abducted from her own back yard, out in the middle of nowhere. Not to mention poor Polly Klass, Elizabeth Smart or Jessica Lunsford. It's a really sad fact of life, unfortunately.

Prayers to all the child victims and their families.

I've been searching past threads and came upon this information. Was this speculation by Annasmom, or is there indeed proof of aliases and businesses that Margaret Kukoda ran? Besides her possible Mary K business, what other names did she use and what business did she have?

Also, I was under the impression that George Waters never had a private practice and was mainly a Emergency room/clinic doctor. Why would he be treating a Cancer/tumor patient?

Right...I got ya there. :D What I was trying to say is, has any of these relatives of Madyln's been contacted yet? I have a few areas to explore in the event that Margaret Kukoda (child of Anthony and Esther and sister of Madlyn) is NOT Brodys MK. There is a great possibility she is, but a few things just arent right. Specifically her birth date. You would think being retired Navy, Registered Nurse, and Convict, with a valid Social Security Number that her birth date would have been correct on her death certificate, but it's not. If they are the same people the birth month should be March 1917(or maybe April) but the death cert says August 1917. Born & died on the exact same day 50 years later.

As far as the birthdate on the death certificate, you have to remember- GW most likely signed that certificate. It was probably completed in collaboration with GB. So an incorrect birth date on the death certificate could have been on purpose, inadvertent (maybe a date associated with one of the aliases), or simply a typo (that happens more than you would think.)

No, he would not have signed the death certificate, since she died at a public institution, Laguna Honda Hospital, where he was not her doctor.

There was some research on Margaret's businesses and phone listings in the Box which LE now has, so I can't give you specifics. The only name I remember her using was Mary Kay. Doogie may remember more. GW had no business treating a cancer patient, but he was doing it privately, probably under instruction from Brody himself, and using (from what I recall) some quite unconventional therapies. Again, Doogie may remember more.

[Annasmom]

I was on Fisherman's Wharf today with my son and grandson, waiting on the sidewalk, when I did a double-take at a hawker who resembled George Brody. As I waited there, I was struck by how much this man's "act" and come-on resembled the ramblings of GB. I began to wonder if GB had come through some carnival circuit or something. Didn't they used to have boxers? And certainly they had con men. Any ideas?

I hate to say it, but maybe the person who filled out the death certificate started writing the death date in the birth state slot and was too lazy to change it when realizing the error. It wouldn't surprise me.

Hmmm. That could explain a lot -- his untraceability and use of alias(es), his exposure and subsequent appropriation of bits and pieces of various philosophies to fit his purpose (as fictional gambler Brett Maverick said, "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, and those are pretty good odds") and notable occasional successes with this tactic.

Not to get too far off target, but this is the route Col. Tom Parker (a contemporary of Brody's) went before becoming Elvis's manager (one of his specialties was "dancing chickens," with the poor birds standing, then hopping, on a hidden hot plate as the temperature was surreptitiously turned up). In "The Colonel: The Extraordinary Story Of Colonel Tom Parker And Elvis Presley" author Alanna Nash speculates that the Colonel, known as Andreas Cornelis van Kujik at the time, had to flee the Netherlands after the bludgeoning death of a grocer's wife with a crowbar, and Parker's fear of discovery about his past was why Elvis never toured outside the US. Parker was born near the turn of the century, but little is known for sure about his life before the 1940s, and he was in the public spotlight for decades. The truth about Parker's early years was revealed only when his family in the Netherlands recognized him in photographs with Elvis, and confirmed in 1982 when Parker tried to avert a lawsuit by asserting he was a Dutch citizen.

[Dr. Doogie]

I recall that Col. Parker used to purposely overpay his income taxes in an effort to avoid being audited, since an audit may have uncovered his status as an illegal immigrant to the U.S.

:rolleyes: Great minds think alike!! LOL So did the good Doctor see a resemlence? The part about meeting his wife on a passenger ship from San Francisco to LA was kind of eerie too.

(and his wife kind of resembles MK too!)

[InterestedNHelping]

I thought all the same things you do! hehehehe...In one of the sites they talk about how domineering and controlling he was...hmmm, sounds familiar. Him being an adventurer doesn't, but anyone in their youth can be different than when they are older. She did look like MK, and I thought that his wife could have died accidentally, (or maybe on purpose) and he walked out of there, and became a new man in a town he was familiar with. The pics of his father, look uncannily like GB when he is older!

[Dr. Doogie]

...So did the good Doctor see a resemlence?..

Right now, my time has been spent preparing for the DNA results, so I have not had much time for examining this possibility. At first glance, the resemblance is somewhat close, but not an "A-Ha!" type resemblance. I will look at this much closer as time permits. It is promising that two researchers came to the same information independently! Good job, you guys!

[iNTERESTEDWOMAN]

.... The pics of his father, look uncannily like GB when he is older!


THanks for the links, I just looked at the last one and you are right!!! His father looks more like Brody than Glen does...LOL

[InterestedNHelping]

I had to step out for a bit, back now...

I have done many hours of researching Brody, compiling info but never anything concrete. Some time ago, I mentioned lightly about how there are old missing persons cases, where someone from a family may be looking for someone that looks like Brody but not named as such. I have spent alot of hours in this arena, looking for him under other names. Honestly, when the pictures are blown up and places side by side or over each other, they are very close.
WOuldn't it be amazing if Anna was found, and Brody's identity uncovered, and the Glen and Bessie mystery solved? LOL that would be incredible. But there is still a long way to go to determining it.
BTW, did you notice the 'fedora' Glen and his father both seem so fond of wearing? Interesting, huh?
Thanks for verifying all the work I did on this by finding it too, it seems more credible to me now. Lets figure this one out!

This is just so weird! Look at the top pic on this page you posted:

(side view) and this one of Brody: (Also side view)
http://new.photos.yahoo.com/drdoogief/album/576460762319040758/photo/294928803184155399/4
When you look at these 2 side by side, The ears, the nose, (even the flair of the nostril) and the chin all look so similar. And oh yes the famous fedora too. (Most farmers in those times wore straw hats, or cowboy hats...not felt fedoras.)

[InterestedNHelping]

LOL, I have pics downloaded and side by side blow ups all over my computer, because the shapes of ears, eyes jaw everything is similar! that is so funny, I really know what you mean, I have been sitting on this all week after I sent it to Dr Doogie, because I knew he would be busy with the DNA, and I didn't want to start another riot! LOL, but I am stunned at the similarities. The father has an amazing resemblance just in his stance and they way he holds his arms to what Brody did!
I didn't want to tell the guy that wrote the book just yet, I think this has become our mystery to solve, LOL!

[iNTERESTEDWOMAN]

The story behind the Hydes is quite fascinating. Some reports say she was pregnant. Maybe a Scott & Laci situation?? Maybe he did accidentally on purpose kill her since he requested no life preservers. Eventually he found his way out of the canyon, and moved to SF where he found someone else to support him. With a little imagination the pieces fit together so well.

He must have been a smooth talker to make a young married woman go to such lengths to divorce her husband and move to Idaho to help him farm.

[InterestedNHelping]

You are thinkin! What I am thinkin! LOL...my father has a saying "Dumb, like a fox"...he may be acting simply and thinking overtime! He was a control freak, according to his own family, no surprise that he convinced her to do all that for him....seems he was able to convince MK to be the 'woman he wanted her to be" otherwise, she wouldn't have been with him. The San Francisco connection is interesting because there are not alot of details as to the timeline of him going there, to meet her...he just 'went to SF', what the heck did that mean? Seems alot of similarities, and at first the smaller pics of him didn't impress me, bit when I blew them up next to Brody, I was actually extremely surprised by it.

What is striking me as so funny, is that the very first case I ever worked on, many years ago, also involved a man by the name of Hyde....LOL, those 'Jeckyl and Hyde' types are something else!

[mysteriew]

Glen was raised in Washington, California, Canada, and Idaho and attended college in Oregon and Idaho.

I wonder where in California he was raised?

I wonder where in California he was raised?

The college part struck me, How many men in the 20's went to college and then went home to become a potato farmer??? Maybe not the life he wanted, that's why he cut himself off from his own family.

The writer has a page on his site, to get folks to post their own theories, I believe possibly, because he may plan to write another book..I will get a copy but don't necessarily want to contact him just yet, we have some more homework to do, I have worked a long time on this, and I want to finish my work on it, before this THEORY is discussed as a real possiblity with the author. He is a man that was a river guide and made the same boat they sailed in, and his theory is that since it was so hard to control, they drowned swiftly and suddenly.
Please note, on past Wikipedia posts, anyone that submits info that is not disputed was posted. It is not always accurate, just the best available info deemed relevant. College records are easily check from that time period.
He seemed to be on an adventure or some particular reason, hopefully not just to get rid of Bessie.

Well folks, jump on the bandwagon, all help is more than welcome! Thanks Mysteriew! I do have one major doubt here, so look closely...My Hyde's ears appear to be higher than the midline of the eye...Brody's do not so much....this is a defining line that we use in medicine. what do you think?

Oh please do what you might feel is right, I am not ever going to hinder someone from a quest when they might feel they have something to offer! I just have been viewing the angle for a couple months now, and was not sure the validity of this author, since IN MY OPINION only, he seems to be 'fishing' for answers to further him. Just my opinion though, and I have put in alot of research, but if you EVER find anything or want to contact him right away for any reason, please, my toes are fine! I am a facts based researcher, study study study...only because I tend to put my mouth before my facts and I have learned the hard way too many times! LOL

[InterestedNHelping]

Yah! LISA! Tell us please, did he post the pics in his book, that are listed from mysteriew post about Glen Glenn and GLenda? Is there a comparison at all?

I don't think those photos are in the book...I'll double check.

[InterestedNHelping]

I have a REALLY difficult time believing that 2 people could fall off the boat, however rough the water, and yet things like a poetry book, a camera and ALL of their supplies remained in tact on the boat? I don't believe that, my theory is that they were off of the boat, THEN something happened...who knows what....ANy thoughts?

[InterestedNHelping]

Thanks so very much Lisa, I wondered all along why he would sound like he was soooo shocked when he saw the pics and then never publish them...if he thought they would add credibility to his story he certainly would have published them...I wonder where those pictures are? Even so, the original pics of the REAL Glen is who I am most interested in, he is a Brody theory for me for sure.

[LisainWV]

There are some really good photos of him in the book.

Away from my scanner at the moment, but I'll try to scan a couple of the better ones this weekend.

The pictures I posted seem to have some of the trip pictures as well as some family pictures in them.

Interesting theories that have come up about the disappearance of the Hyde's:
One theory was that they wanted to start a new life and staged the disappearance.
A second was that some woman died and it it turned out that her name was not what everyone thought- her real name was supposed to be Bessie (no last name given) some items were found in her home that were thought to connect her to Bessie Hyde. But very few details are given about that.

[InterestedNHelping]

Thanks Lisa, you have been extremely helpful. I know he had the photos of Glen, but I was wondering if he had the ones listed at this site, as he ends his story abruptly, as if he found something. I wanted to see what supposed similarities are seen. THis site appears to be something he posted but never followed up on maybe...very curious, but the more pics the better, so thank you...I don't know the rules for copyright infringement on photos exactly, I know its a few years, so check it out first.

I just have been viewing the angle for a couple months now, and was not sure the validity of this author, since IN MY OPINION only, he seems to be 'fishing' for answers to further him. Just my opinion though, and I have put in alot of research, but if you EVER find anything or want to contact him right away for any reason, please, my toes are fine! I am a facts based researcher, study study study...only because I tend to put my mouth before my facts and I have learned the hard way too many times! LOL

You may be right about Dimock, but from what I am seeing, he is a boater who got caught up in the mystery. He seems to have continued investigating even after the book was written. He would definately be a good resource and so would the Az. pathways site author.

[laini]

Wow! I wonder if he is Brody! Great searching guys!
The very similar big ears really "popped out" at me especially. :crazy:

[Gina_M]

Wow...good work, guys! I remember reading about this case a bit, probably before I ever knew about Anna. I think regardless of the DNA results, and even regardless of whether Brody was involved in Anna's disappearance, it would be good to know where he came from.

I might order a copy of that book.

Whoever Bessie was, she was involved with Glenn during the missing years, the rafting years. And the big scar on Glenn’s back was from Bessie. She had stabbed him.http://www.gcrg.org/bqr/13-4/glen.html

Wow...from reading this page, it sounds like Glen and Glenn were the same person. Reading about this scar mentioned above...do we know whether Brody had a scar on his back?

Of the books written about the Hydes they are described here.

Where Michaels' depiction of Glen and Bessie, and Glen's father Reith Hyde's persistent search for the lost couple, focuses on the inner workings of the chracters under extreme stress, Dimock sets out to explore many of the rumors surrounding the Hyde's disappearance that have become river-running folklore: Glen flew into a rage and killed Bessie; Bessie killed Glen and lived under a pseudonym to an old age; both were killed by wild animals while attempting to hike out of the Canyon. For the most part, the legends are quashed, and Dimock concludes that neither he, nor anyone else, can say with certainty what happened to the Hydes. snip

Both authors relied heavily on archival material collected by Otis Marston, a river runner and amateur historian whose papers are housed in the Huntington Library in San Marino, Calif., Michaels using the Hyde archives as a bare outline of facts to be filled in with her own imaginative treatment, and Dimock using them as a stepping off point for further, more detailed research.

[mysteriew]

I was intrigued by the woman who was possibly connected to the Hydes after their disappearance and after her death. But it looks like they did rule her out based on her physical characteristics and Dimock's research.

More about Bessie. It tells about a woman she met and became roommates with (a woman with her own history and a name change because of a murder she was accused of) and the rather racy life she lived before meeting Hyde. Gives some insight into the type of people she may have been attracted to.
It is also by Dimock

Can we confirm Margaret K. back to 1928?

At some point Bessie lived somewhere in Pa. Margaret is from Durham, Pa. Is there a connection, could she have assumed the name?

One thing that is peculiar, I see a lot where the Hyde father was very involved in the search (he reportedly bankrupted himself searching)- but not anything about Bessie Hyde's father being involved. Maybe it is lost to history, maybe they didn't talk to newspapers, or maybe they knew something?

Bessie had her own little history. She was in college when she married a boy from her high school. There were rumors of a pregnancy, but not confirmed. She was only married a very short time (weeks) before she tried to get a divorce. There are rumors of abuse. When he refused to give the divorce, she moved to Nevada to get the divorce.

She meets Hyde and soon marries him. The two of them stay on her father's farm for a month then go on the trip.

She is young, doing all of this moving around, it is 1928 and she is female. And she has a history of a short 'scandalous' marriage, and then a year later another marriage. She lived on her own in Calif. for a time. She and Hyde are in a high stress environment in the canyon and some reports say she wasn't happy. If she decided to quit the marriage, would she go back home to the farm?

More history on Hyde. And this site says that Bessie's father was involved in the search.

At this particular juncture, I have logged most of this info over the past few weeks, and have come to the idea that I would like input on a question list for Mr. Dimock. I was holding off, but it seems that all of you are in agreement that we have a "possible GB" here. I will contact Mr. Dimock after we all get to gether here and make a list of the most tactful and relevant questions regarding Glen as we possibly can. It is more about dates, places, and mannerisms, etc. that will give us a good question list with which to proceed. Please feel free to add your questions that you think are pertinent, and this will give us a chance to be in agreement here, as to what is most important in our quest. Question away!

I'm sure different web sites say different things, but according to what I've read She met Hyde while she was still married to her 1st husband on a passenger ship going from SF to LA. She was married for much longer than 2 weeks, but only actually lived with him for 2 weeks. One article says she got married and then went home to live with her parents for awhile, (to have a baby?)



She is young, doing all of this moving around, it is 1928 and she is female. And she has a history of a short 'scandalous' marriage, and then a year later another marriage. She lived on her own in Calif. for a time. She and Hyde are in a high stress environment in the canyon and some reports say she wasn't happy. If she decided to quit the marriage, would she go back home to the farm?


It was my impression the farm was that of Hyde's father. When Bessie & Glenn where married they went to his family farm and worked for the summer before taking their honeymoon adventure.


Sadly even if Brody and Hyde are the same person, it might never be proven. Brody was cremated, and Hyde vanished. I doubt DNA could ever prove anything unless there are a couple of hairbrushes saved throughout history...LOL

Gosh how I wish I had the Box from Hell (Safe deposit box) Ever since I heard it exist, I've often thought this whole mystery could be solved by going through it inch by inch. :boohoo:

I want to express here a big THANK YOU for everyone's help in this. I cannot tell you how many cases I have researched that are old missing persons, in the last 6 months, and hearing that you all agree means alot to me. I also would like to hear the doubts about a match, for balancing why Glen MAY NOT BE GB....Thank you all, very much, I will compile a question list during the course of this weekend, and have it early next week for you all!

[InterestedNHelping]

I am currently working land records and public records on the families to see if we have any names or transfer titles or anything that may give us a hint into a connection. This does take a long time, considering that there is more than one state involved here, but IF I can cross connect, it will make an important find.

Well heck, we've got a problem. Looking back at old posts Annasmom stated that Brody was a rather short man. 5'4" to 5'5". I just read that Glen was around 6'. I realize people shrink with age, but probably not 6 or 7 inches...LOL Oh well, back to the drawing board.

Ugg, that is really really short for a man, I am surprised he was that short. I know that GB did something in his past, ie.left a wife and kids, violence of some sort, fraud, something that made him change his identity, and I am gonna figure it out! LOL

I had another thought on the guy, and perhaps Sherlock or Dr. Doogie can help with this one...in the book, it was written that many different alias' were used while the two men resided in SF. It may be possible that between all of the different alias' we could cipher out a name that might be credible...do you know what all the alias names are from the BFH? Thanks!

[MagicRose99]

I doubt the difference would be 5 to 6 inches... when you get older and your bones "settle" you only lose maybe 1 to 2 inches max.

Is it thought he is of English decent or European decent with a name which could have been shortened or changed to sound more American ( considering many families did so back then) Any clue? I recall some old posts thinking he may have been hungarian.

[Dr. Doogie]

I recall some old posts thinking he may have been hungarian.

I think the Hungarian theory came from the fact that Kukoda's family was from Hungary and that immigrants in the first half of the 20th century tended to live and socialize with people of similar ethnic backgrounds.

[Julessleuther]

Hi--I have looked and looked but cannot seem to find it. Do we have any pictures of Margaret posted here? The only reason I ask is because there is an interesting thread in cold cases, and the fact that the missing woman is a nurse AND went to San Francisco in 1939 or so rang bells for me.

In researching Black Dahlia site www.blackdahliasolution.org/ I came across a cryptographic interpretation of writing by an Ed Burns aka Maurice Clements, William Heirens, George Murman and notices one picture of George Brody and his "philosophy" with the same type of writing. It seems that George Brody may also have been some of those listed above. Reports suggest that he was hospitalized after his wife killed self and baby daughter. Perhaps , if this is the same person, it might account with his obsession with Anna and her father. What does anyone think of this theory?

I'm not sure what you mean. You think George Brody could be the same person as this Ed Burns? According to the link you posted, he committed suicide two years after the Black Dalia murder. around 1949. I didn't see anywhere that mentioned a wife. Could you offer more information?

[InterestedNHelping]

I have briefly, due to the volumnes of info out there, researched this idea you presented. It holds water with many, many aspects, it does have amazing correlations in so many ways! it would leave us with several theories...GB was alive during this time and may have been the guy, though unlikely because he was too 'self absorbed' from what I hear, to not tell everybody he did it, and he was too lazy to actually do anything himself.
Or, he was a copycat, and had a secret to hide, because he may have thought the guy was smart, and he tried to be 'smart' too.
Or, he was also studied in many areas of the same ideas, like the akashic records, numerology and also cryptology and he has many similarities, but came from a different background.
There are ALOT of theories beyond this, and the similarities are worth exploration, but the actual info is very elaborated these days, though there is are some,( very few) sites that are not posting erroneous info. The actual police file is online somewhere, but its FBI and was not really their case, so only some original info is in it.

You have some excellent sleuthing there, and possiblity of connection is there, but whether or not we could ever figure it out, since sooo many have tried and there are so many suspects is another thing. the details of Brody and the murder are interestingly connected and intertwined with so many things, it makes it a crazy research project and undertaking, whew! What a possibility!
Its all those small details that are so intriguing, makes me want to learn more, and I am doing so...wouldn't that be somethin? LOL...I hope he's not, this story is very disturbing, but stranger things have happened!
Thanks NJShrink, you got me thinkin...

[iNTERESTEDWOMAN]

I noticed something strange the other day when I was following up on my "Jonestown" theory. As you may remember I have referred back to a particular sub family (The Brady's) that I feel may have some ties to the 2 Georges. What is weird is all of a sudden there is an anonymous "In Memory" posted for one of the children.

Mother: Michaeleen Patricia Brady, b. 5-14-43
Daughter: Georgiann Patricia Brady, b. 12-23-65
Daughter: Michele Margaret Brady, b. 12-2-66 (Less than a year after Georgiann)

Michele Margaret is the only one the anonymous poster wrote to. Why only her? If it where the missing father of the 2 girls why didn't he write something for both daughters? If it where any relative, why not the whole family, why this one particular girl? The only thing I can think of is my theory is right and they are not related to Michaeleen nor any of her 4 other adult siblings that also went to Jonestown. Matter of fact, Michele Margaret Brady is the only one in the entire extended family of 9 that went with any "In Memory" posted.

Michaeleen is listed as a Hair dresser and a part time pre-school teacher before Jonestown. She also had a child named Elizabeth who was born and died on 12-16-64 (12 mo and 1 week before Georgiann)

[InterestedNHelping]

As I read the actual FBI file, the only thing I keep thinking is that Brody probably loved a mystery, and had read the story, or was in some way loosly connected via the media, or his job (?) and he loved pretending a mystery...just a guess here...

As for the story of the Jonestown idea, I looked into that some time ago, and I cannot remember why I didn't think it matched up, but if you think you have something, keep going. Often times, people will put those internet flowers on a case, when they are researching something, and feel that a positive note will be of spiritual importance...I think that you can email the poster, then maybe it won't be as strange as it appears...

I can't e-mail the poster, they left it as anonymous. Yes it could be anyone...just a well wisher, but it is rather odd. I have eased up on this quest with Jonestown as we all await the DNA results, but there are so many coincidences that I can not put it behind me....yet. I've entertained several ideas on what happened, but usually dismiss it quickly when I uncover evidence to not support the theory...(Like the Hyde deal.) It took just a few hours to realize they where not the same....but so far, I can not find anything to drop this...I'm praying DNA results will surely put an end to this madness of mine!

[InterestedNHelping]

I know what you mean with the madness, LOL...even if C is Anna, no matter how she was taken, the mystery will remain, you realize, because no one knows who GB actually was....YET...
I can't stand it, I gotta figure it out! I have done this where it seemed impossible before, so with all these folks like you working on it, we may come up with the answer, which may just shed more light on what happened overall...I can't see GB doing anything himself, IF he was involved it was to keep his hands clean probably, but then, he may have been smarter than we are giving him credit for...keep going with your work, you may be on to something.
I can't seem to find anything that can give us a real height on GB,( I do understand what Annasmom said though) the pics with him and GW seem to appear that they are closer in height than a man of 5'4", at least that is my opinion at this point, I haven't really ruled out anyone by height, at least not yet!

[InterestedNHelping]

Here is something I have determined, and would like to see what others think...I do not know if this idea has been covered before, but I don't think so...
I have noticed that when GB wrote something down, he often had trouble with his vowels, as if he used another language, mixing up o, u, mostly. I noticed specifically, that on the chart that is written, he must have copied it down until he had no spelling errors, because there does not seem to be any write overs, like he has on other things, that he only wrote once, like his photo note. I think it is very possible that he was bilingual, maybe German, because of this. I wondered if it was because he had Always been bilingual, otherwise, if a language is learned later, we tend to not make those grammatical errors. He seems to have it really 'ground' into him, and his writing, which may account for some background on him, which appears to me, to be German...any thoughts?

[iNTERESTEDWOMAN]

Annasmom said that the "flow chart" and "the plan" where both written by Waters. Brody would dictate to him and he would write.

[InterestedNHelping]

That would explain why I thought his handwriting was so different when he got older, lol, I knew about the plan, but thought he did the chart.. makes you wonder why he never wrote things down...I can't bellieve if George was his name, why on earth he couldn't spell it without mistake on his own photo...sure tells you he doens't seem to be a "George"...look up close at the photo spelling, see what you think

[NJshrink]

I am not certain that George Brody is the one involved with the Black Dahlia theory but I do think that the oddity of his writing (which some believe is a crytographic code) bears striking similarities. Note the way he signed his "eternity" picture. Is annasmom 100% certain that the "philosophy" was written by Waters? Even if it were dictated to him, the lines and arrows suggest the same oddity of the Ed/George person in the Dahlia cite. Please also read the history of the Ed/George person suggested in this cite and see if any of the geographical and/or time references overlap. Just hypothesizing!

[NJshrink]

Again, I am just thinking out loud. Yes, I am a shrink so I often have to think as someone psychotic may. The Ed Burns/Barnes/George Murman who wrote to the LA police may not have actually been involved in the Black Dahlia's demise. What we seem to know about the letter writer is that his mom may have been named Esther Gold..something. It seems to be in the FBI file. Perhaps and I say perhaps his seeming lack of a job was because he may have been an abortionist with perhaps some medical training. Remember abortion only became legal in the early 70's. His family, if I remember correctly, was from Europe and Jewish. There were some hypotheses that aft he returned from the military with a psychiatric condition. His first wife presumably killed their child and self. One does not know if this is true. If this Burnes/Barnes is Brody it is also said that he abandoned his second wife in 1946 ish. There may have been a ruse about suiciding as the LAPD may have been hot on his tail as an abortionist. He may have then resurfaced as George Brody. Along another track, there were a number of unsolved shooting/slashing murders between 1946 and 47 called the Moonlight Murders of Texarkana. I don't know if there may be any ties to that. Also, if anyone can tell me more about George Waters family, where he came from, his parents, etc. that might help organize how and why he and George Brody became friends. I have a vague feeling they may have had some earlier connection. When one is psychotic as George Brody probably was, their thinking is often tangential and associative. While the "Effie" name may seem to have number value, it may also mean something else. Any thoughts or information?

[Annasbro]

George W. was a Princeton grad that went Columbia Med school. His family were missionaries that were at one point interred in a concentration camp in the south pacific during WW2. I think this information is in my Mom's book on this site or in the background details of the case

I am willing to contribute a lot...even if it means traveling by plane to other cities to check out libraries, public records, etc. My husband is a librarian and he is an excellent researcher. I will get him involved in the search for Anna.

Back to the drawing board...

Few things about GB and GW that REALLY bother me:

-The "I am glad the tot is dead" statement (although it may not be related to Anna)
-GB's weird obession with Anna
-The fact that GW took a week off work around the time Anna went missing.
-The handwritten "Jan 1973" note that was found in BFH (I believe?)

I am not 100% convinced that they were involved in Anna's disapearrance but I think it is worth looking into.

[smile22]

back to searching but we wont give up we have alot of good people involved in this case we will keep on searching for answers

[InterestedNHelping]

I am still 'mostly convinced' that the two George's did have some involvement in this, I will continue to work on GB's identity.

[NJshrink]

The name "Effie" is a nickname for Esther. Remember the EdBurnes/Barnes/George Murman's mother was named Esther. Another thought is that in the psychotic's mind having a name that is Christian wouldn't work especially if your background might be Jewish originally. Another thought, again if I remember this correctly, an older woman took Anna as a babysitter. Perhaps someone in Brody's family thought they were rescuing a little girl from a "psychotic" relative as a help not fully realizing at the time what this was. I'm sorry to hear that the DNA for a "C" is not a match.

[GraceBlue]

Annasmom/Doogie- I know it is soon after getting the negative DNA results. I have 2 questions. When (what year) did GW meet GB? Was GW ever a president of the SF Kiwanis club in 1966? http://www.kiwanissanfrancisco.org/about_kiwanis_sf.shtml
Is it possible Brody was also a member?
Thank you.

That is interesting because Esther (I believe) was Margaret Kukoda's mother's name. Anna's middle name was spelled Eifee not Effie but I wonder if GB mispelled it by accident or on purpose? It will be interesting to ask Annasmom if she has anything in the BFH that was written by GB to see if he wrote words as they sounded which often results in mispelling.

I highly doubt GB's family 'rescued' Anna from them because according to the hotel GB and GW lived in, they didnt have visitors. I am sure they would have mentioned a little blonde girl to Joe Ford when he asked if they had visitors. But that is an interesting theory. We have looked into the possibility of the two Georges taking Anna and giving her to either Brody or Kukoda's family.

Brody
George Brody
George Bee (B)

Waters
George Waters
He registered at the hotel as "Walters", but that may have been an error by the clerk

Kukoda
Margaret Kukoda
Mary Kukoda
Mary Kay (K)

I wanted to add that IF George Brody's Friend Margaret is in fact the Margaret Kukoda of Bucks County PA, (Born in NJ 1921 & Daughter of Esther and Anthony). This family had several variations on the spelling of their last name. So there is a possibility she could have used any of them throughout the years.

1910 Census they spelled it Kukido and Kuksdo
1920 Census they spelled it Kahnke and Kokoda
1930 Census they spelled it Kukoda, (Though 2 brothers continued to spell it Kokoda in 1930 when they where living in MI.) On the death and SS records of the male family members the name was finally spelled Kukoda.

Esthers mother was Susanna Boeniat according to the 1910 census, stating that she was the head of the house holds Mother- in- Law.

I've been looking into the name Eifee. I tried a different spelling: EifFee with 2 fs and it appears to be a last name. Could it be GB's "real" last name? Or Margaret's real last name? Or one of their family names.

Ok, now according to this http://www.ancestry.com/learn/facts/Fact.aspx?&fid=7&ln=Eiffee&fn=&yr=1880 people with the last name Eiffee in the 1880s lived in Massachusetts and in the 1920s in New York. New York is right above Pennsylvania.

All this probably means nothing but if it does, it could bring us closer to GB's real identity.

[InterestedNHelping]

GraceBlue, you are also looking at a similar theory that I was thinking...this is my thought, that the name Eifee, was who they were GOING TO GIVE ANNA TO, and it might be a last name, then there would be no legal question as to her background if the birth certificate had already been changed, well before the fact. ANy thoughts that Eifee or any variation therof, might have been who actually has Anna? I have always thought this was a possiblility, since it would be unquestioned legally.

[GraceBlue]

InterestedNHelping- That is an interesting theory. But my question is, they waited 5 long years from the time Anna was born/they added Eifee to her name before kidnapping her and giving her to someone else?

Couple of thoughts I have: Maybe GB's real last name was Eifee/Eiffee and he felt 'left out' of the excitement of Anna's birth and wanted his name included next to the Waters name? Is there any way we can look up military records for someone with the last name Eifee and Eiffee? Did they take out life insurance policies and use both GB's real and fake names?

[InterestedNHelping]

My first theory is that GB formulated this plan from the moment he met Anna. Just a theory..the other theory that I am following is that he is closer to home than we think, and I have a guy that I have found that is born in CA, is a leo, is older than what GB said he actually was, and ironically, this man has not died, and would be 97 years old. I am trying to track him, see what happened to him, and if he might really be GB.

ANother theory I have held to, is that they took her out of the country, with that name. ACE means many things, and I think it was calculated, though I wonder how many names they went through before deciding, and how close the names resembled this one.

Military records are searchable all over the net, and he could be found, but I think we really have to find a real name first. Eifee is very abstract, and I dont think it was GBs name, he was too secretive to do that in my opinion.

I am following up various ideas at this time, if I find anything I will certainly post it!

[GraceBlue]

InterestedNHelping- That's an interesting theory. Let us know what you find on this "GB" fellow! Geez, how did GB come up with a fake name and Eifee? He must've just opened up a telephone book! Really!

What country do you think they took Anna to?


_____

Has anyone followed up with Margaret Kukoda's sister Madlyn to find out if the woman in the picture we have is in fact Margaret Kukoda and see if they know anything about GB? I think if anything, the truth about GB lies with Madlyn and her family and possibly all the photographs and letters from Margaret she may have kept (if there are any)...or even better, Margaret's personal posessions.

[GraceBlue]

I hate going this direction but...why (all of the sudden) do I have this bad 'feeling' that GW and GB could have been involved in Anna's disappearance. Perhaps it was all for money and GB knew how to get GW and Anna fake identities/stolen identities, GW (being a doctor) had access to medicine such as cyanide. They could've filed for an insurance policy under fake names, given Anna cyanide or something, filed for a death certificate, had her cremated (which could be why we can't find her) and gotten insurance money all under the false names.

Doogie, are there ANY names in the BFH? If so, can you write them all down so we can look into whether there were any insurance policies filed under that name or if there are any death certificates under a certain name?

I hate being negative, I certainly hope this is NOT what happened but it is all just a theory.

[NJshrink]

I think some of you are clearly onto something. "Elizabeth" Ann "Anna" Peggy (sic Margaret) Bouslag Davis, a nurse went missing somewhere between 1939 and 1944. She apparently left Colorado with a "John Spooner" to go to San Francisco. She was a nurse in Colorado at Jewish National Hospital in the 1030's and at the Presidio Military hospital in SF in the 1940's. She was being investigated for performing illegal abortions during that time. There is the newspaper article link a few posts ago. Her children couldn't find her in the 1940's. Apparently she told them she was "going out to sea." This may be the woman GB married. Ironically no one can find actual records on her either. See the picture on Anna Waters my space for Elizabeth Davis and read the history. Something tells me there is a connection with abortions/baby rings. Remember, once abortions became legal in the US, back room ones were less lucrative. Perhaps another means was needed for financial purposes, especially for GB. Any thoughts?

The myspace site has both Sharon Marshall and Anna Waters friends on it. Which means that someone from here has already looked at the info. We need to find out if a comparison has been made with MK and what the results were.

Hi--I have looked and looked but cannot seem to find it. Do we have any pictures of Margaret posted here? The only reason I ask is because there is an interesting thread in cold cases, and the fact that the missing woman is a nurse AND went to San Francisco in 1939 or so rang bells for me.

Hi all,

I originally noticed the Elizabeth Ann Bouslog Davis page on MySpace and started a thread for her here on WS in Cold Cases. Not even thinking of a MK connection at the time, just wanting to help the case get more exposure. Julessleuther is really good...she noticed the possible MK connection. My sleuthing skills aren't the best, so anyone here is welcome to look into it. I've been writing with the lady running the MySpace profile, and any info she gives me I post on the thread in Cold Cases. I can ask her if she's heard of MK, maybe direct her to Anna's forum to read up on it. Good work, everyone!

[NJshrink]

I am new to wed sleuths, so I may often post something that was previously covered. The Anna Bouslog Davis was from a www.myspace.com/ann_bouslog . The newspaper article of Margaret Kukoda being indicted for illegal abortions was on your link but I'll try to post that link.http://im1shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6d933b3127cce8bffadf421...
I think she and George B were an item and kept changing their identities whenever things got too hot in their abortion and later baby selling ring. When I read the "Plan" it seemed to say contract money (sic) final arrangements with the L's bank been made (Jan 1973) Apply for $100,000 with (some other person) as (name hidden). This was reference, I'm hypothesizing, to an application of some sort to deposit $ and somehow launder it.
Also, has anyone actually seen the death certificate for Mary, George B or George W in person?
Also, at the risk of seeming intrusive, I do have access to Princeton and Columbia University alumni sites, so can I please have more specific information about the years Waters graduated and exactly where his internships and residencies were and what years. Was there ever a mention of exactly who his parents were and if they were involved (positively) after their grandchild went missing?

These questions can be answered best by Dr. Doogie or Annasmom; however I do know that Annasmom has kept in touch with George Waters' family and is certain they were not involved in Anna's disappearance. See this post from Annasmom:

I think it may be a good idea to just stop... sit back... and let's regroup. I believe we should wait for our fearless leader to lay out what we already know, what we've looked into and what we need to look into next. If there are theories, put those forth to be looked into...

I really feel that things are going off every which way at this time in our rush to help and we need to just stop and find out where we should go next instead of losing our focus and objectives and wasting resources, ideas and time.

I really do not mean to offend anyone, but right now, all I'm see are jumbled efforts and thoughts...

And remember, Doogie did ask for time for them to regroup and get their thoughts back on track...

[NJshrink]

I keep reading the "plan. It's getting clearer. The no. 2 I think goes something like this: Apply for $100.000 with Arizona female as ???Brouslag??? No. 3 Three months later negotiate an increase to 5 ? Then someword I cannot yet make out ...with Arizona female No. 4 three months later change B (birthdate?) While I have no idea if this relates to Anna's disappearance, I think it may speak to baby/child abductions and sales. I have begun to also wonder about some of the women who might have been pregnant about that time. I wonder if they all made it back home alive. Maybe a stretch, but that's how shrinks think, sorry.

I completely agree with you. A LOT of the ground has previously been covered. No offense to any newcomers, but you really must read the forum from the very beginning to know the total amount of work that has already been completed. Even the members that have been here for a while sometimes forget everything that has been covered previously!

And, yes, we need to take a breath, stay focused, and not jump around wasting a lot of our resources on unsubstantiated ideas.

There are already several sound theories that need more investigation and I am sure Doogie and Annasmom will want to point the investigation in those directions when they are ready.

I hope everyone has a good week-end.

Happy Mother's Day to Annasmom and to all Moms at Websleuths!

I know, I know! Heehee. Sometimes when I go back I find more things I didnt notice/think of before or I am hoping to find something that we may have missed out on. More than anything, I really dont want Annasmom to think we've given up on helping her find Anna.

I'll wait until Doogie and Annasmom get back and they're ready to continue the search for Anna.

:D

[mysteriew]

It never hurts to review info that was covered before. Each piece of info that is uncovered is like a part of a puzzle. And if not totally ruled out, it could be a piece that just doesn't fit yet. Fresh eyes and more info later could find a place where that piece fits.

But if you want to look up what may have been found earlier, there are tools to help you find it in the forum. At the top of the forum thread is a link for "search forum"- that will give you the thread the info is in. At the top of each thread is "search thread", that will give you the posts it is mentioned in. You can sometimes save yourself some steps by seeing what was found earlier.

[rideforfun]

My regroup idea is since we now have "contact" with LE can we ask about possible suspects in the burglaries? That takes us back to the gal whose father rented properties and she was at home when the person came to pay his "rent" which actually sounded like a front for robbing them. I believe that gal gave us a possible Anna sighting and we've already confirmed that the robberies were occuring in the area as she claimed. Many times the police have suspensions and suspects which can not be charged because of lack of evidence. Now is the time to talk to the police who investigated these robberies and see if we can generate any names of people who could be followed up on. I believe this is our next strongest area to cover because it is possible that this was an actual Anna sighting!

[Dr. Doogie]

Also, has anyone actually seen the death certificate for Mary, George B or George W in person?

Yes, the death certificates for all three were in the Box from Hell. Now that the "C/DNA" portion of the investigation is over, I will try and get the BFH from LE.

I wrote to Marki, who runs the Bouslog page, and here is her reply regarding Margaret Kukoda:

Hopefully the home she is in will/has provided you or SherlockJR with nearest living relative info.

One thing that I have learned during the search for Anna is that when we have reached a "dead-end" and I think that we have exhausted all possible leads, a new lead will emerge that will take us down new and potentially productive paths. I know that SherlockJr has uncovered one or two interesting leads on adoptees in the last few months that have not gotten the scutiny that they deserved because of the necessary focus on C, but now can be fully explored. Other new leads will undoubtedly be found that will bring us closer to answers about Anna each day.

I hope to create some new threads here soon to help organize where I believe we need to focus our efforts (and lock or merge some other redundant or obsolete threads to keep things from getting too unwieldly). Hopefully, this will help direct our efforts into the most productive areas.

[SherlockJr]

One of the adoptees I've been in contact with states that in 1973 at the age of 5, her adoptive parents moved to UK and has lived there since. However, she says she does have memories before the age of 5 living with the adoptive parents. She has promised to scan a pic of herself when she was 5 and send it to me. We are still working on finding her birthfamily.

Another adoptee born in 1967 is looking for her birthfamily. She states she has 2 older brothers who would be close to the age of Anna's bros. She also states the name of the birthfather which is an exact name of a friend of Annasmom's back in the 70's. It has been difficult reaching her by phone... busy, busy, busy. Also she currently lives in Washington.

This may have been done, but I can't seem to find any reference. Has Brodys' picture ever been posted on any of those sites that allow people to view old pictures and others try to identify them? Pictures of the past, or something like that. If we could plaster the few pictures of Brody on picture and message boards, maybe someone would recognize him. Don't put his name...just a picture and see if people reply with different names.

I had a letter yesterday from Jerry Nance (Anna's caseworker at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children) which was very positive and hopeful. He said "I know that after this much time, your question becomes 'Is she alive?'" and adds that most children taken under the age of five are taken because the abductor needs or wants a child for family reasons. "It is never a factor of time to say that after so many years, etc." he says. So though this past week was difficult for all of us, there are many positive things which also happened, not the least of which is that national media now knows about us and our search. Thank you once again, one and all.

...So though this past week was difficult for all of us, there are many positive things which also happened, not the least of which is that national media now knows about us and our search...

A couple of other positives that have come out of the last couple of weeks:

* We now have a DNA profile for Anna on file (along with Annasmom and her two sons).

* We have now had a "dress rehersal" for when we do find Anna. Annasunc shone brilliantly during the last week in his dealings with the press and I now have great confidence that any future reunion will be able to be as hassle-free as possible with his direction.

wow, that was fast, I have a guy with a different name entirely, but if the street address matches, I will send it to you Dr. Doogie, right away.

Even if they thought she couldnt get under, did they open it up to check?

[InterestedNHelping]

I decided that since everyone is looking into Kudoda and Brody and the back east connection, I would try to see if our 'conman' Brody actually is from California. I am still researching, and have been for the last few months, and have a few characters of interest. If there is any relation whatsoever, I will post them for all to inspect, I just want to rule them in or out at this point.

[GraceBlue]

Interestedinhelping- Good idea about searching under the house! But forgive me for being graphic, I've had a dead animal under my house and it STUNK up the entire house. I can imagine a dead body would make the house smell if Anna somehow got stuck under the house.
As for Brody. Interesting!!!!! Honestly, I think our best shot would to be contact MK's relatives. They could have saved old letters or whatever from MK that may state who she's living with. We can only hope! If so, then it could save us hours, days, months, and years of research!

There was a George Brody (b. 1890) and his wife Margaret (b.1895) that moved to SF between 1920 and 1930. I've posted all the info on here before. But no one seemed to think it could be a match. Anyway, I have never been able to find death records for either of them, nor did they have any children as of 1930. He worked at a hardware store. He was originally from Philly. where he worked at the ship yard. This Brody is a little older than originally thought but I still should have found SS death index on him.

ETA: I have wrote to several Older Hardware stores in the SF area asking if they remember a Brody ever working/owning it. So far they have all said no.

GraceBlue, that makes perfect sense, thus the dumb question is answered...kind of graphic if you want to remove the answer from the forum it would be ok. SInce everyone is looking into MK, I went a different direction on purpose.

The SSDI is a funny thing, they do not have everyone that has actually died in it, even when it is a long time ago. Thats what makes this so hard, if you get a good searchable name like you did, then you can't find them, and they might be dead, and they might be Brody, it is very very frustrating. My brother passed away some time ago, and is not listed, and should be. If I were you I think I would keep checking your lead out, you never know who he could have been, if you think its worth a shot, never give up!

GraceBlue, that makes perfect sense, thus the dumb question is answered...kind of graphic if you want to remove the answer from the forum it would be ok. SInce everyone is looking into MK, I went a different direction on purpose. I think you are right about that, I just decided, that I might find something on this side that may fit, and save research time doing it. Thanks for the obvious answer on the house.

No! It
