You are ALL truly wonderful crime detectives WOW, have you ever wondered if you missed your calling? Nancy Drew & the Hardy Boy for sure!
Mostly I am just a reader on Websleuths, but the case of Anna has captivated me. I only started reading last Wednesday, and am not nearly finished.
I think of questions I have related to what I have read and try to find where to post them, so I guess here might be good.
I am sure most of my questions have been considered, but maybe not?
I cannot get over the name change business.......
Quite Brazen & Bold of GB to suggest renaming the child when he is nothing to her, Her mother gave her a beautiful name.
Now for the life of me I cannot find the name he had suggested, Christina ?????
they then settled for Eifee being added as a middle.....hhummm this just doesn't sit well with me, I tried to imagine what Anna's mother's reaction must have been to the mere thought of changing her baby's name, after she had just given it to her!
Has anyone looked up the Christina ???? name GB wanted?
how about Geo Brody, I found one born in 1910 and raised by grand parents, his siblings were also, might give him lack of family roots, maybe bitter about the parents not being there. Was GB himself adopted or abandoned I wonder, what a peice of work he was, and he turned GW into one?
The Mafia connection raised my eyebrows too, that would give him reason to stay off the radar, what if he was a hit man, or had a hit on him, and had to hide. To never work, control people and be so pompous!
These may be things that have already been asked, but I had to ask. I am just a wee bit younger than Anna 4/25/68 not adopted ar anything, but she is from my generation!
What was that name they wanted to give her?
Is Geo short for Giordano?
Also at 5 years old she knew her name, did anyone even call her Eifee, her father never saw her to call her anything. Could it have been changed to Hannah, Joanna, maryanna, something she would have answered to anyways?
Oh I almost forgot Annasmom do you have two copies of Anna's Birth Certificate, the original and then the name changed? The two G's are creepy to me, did you see the Birth Certificate THEY recieved. You had to agree to the name change and sign something I would imagine.........GB could have said "just get her signature and we will go from there? Could they have gone behind your back, traced your signature and totally changed it to what they wanted, she was still a infant, right? A whole new name & passport while he WAS a doctor and paying child support? And it took them five years to complete their plan, cover their bases & tracks? That name change was the start of something........that Brody could have very well convinced him of how Anna would have a better life, lifestyle, education, opportunities & such. He had him convinced of everything else.
By the way my 6 year old grandaughter remembers being a baby, she has shocked me & my daughter countless times, and not anything she has seen in pictures! She also has that "old soul" being about her. I believe Anna remembers quite a bit from 5 years of age, I do even if fond memories are vague, the trauma of kidnapping would have left it's mark. I hope that came out right, god forbid trauma to anyone, but it would have left an imprint in her mind, right? The girl named Carlina came home on her own and was taken as an infant, I cried right along with her family a couple of weesk ago.
I apology for the long post, but had to vent.
Like I said I have been reading this since Wed. and have a ways to go.
I will be buying the book, This is a lot to gather, I wish there was a summerized version so that I could catch up from 2006 postings.
Thank you for everything you have done for Anna's mother & family
