Same. Jamaica Bay is bleak terrain this time of year. .

The "drama" involved (4 AM WhatsApp calls, no coat, not showing up to meet friends, no school since 12/1) doesn't sound like a spontaneous spat with a parent followed by hiding out at a friend's house. We don't know if there's been family discord or custody issues, or if he has relatives...

It's possible.

dbm, looking for a link

I wonder if their (presumably Hungarian) passports were current. I wonder if Eliza worked as a cleaner for any influential people, wealthy, connected, or even criminal, and it led to serious problems.

Interesting that no related babies were abandoned during the pandemic.

Reusable bags are everywhere--bins, charity shops, flea markets and so on. I don't think the Boots people can pinpoint its age or point of purchase. Also, it may not be the biological mother who is leaving the babies. It could be a more distant relative or even a non-relative. IMO some sort of...

I've wondered that, too. I would think the Suffolk County, NY medical examiner's office knows.

I completely agree. I wonder at times why editors leave out details. Are they told to by LE? Are they pressed for space? Are they overwhelmed and miss things?

See Namus: Unidentified Person / NamUs #UP134470 Crucial information is sometimes published by one source but not another. What's hard for me is that I'll see an important detail and then forget where I read it. I get lucky here because our great posters dig up so much helpful info.

Interesting possibility. I did a quick search and found her mother's 2017 obituary mentioning Sandra Lee had predeceased her. From that it's unclear if the family had proof or had her declared legally dead at some point.

Can't get this one out of my mind. If, as reported, LE shared word about this UID across the country, no one had any info on a female MP? She had on a wedding ring. No one ever reported her missing? She wore a size 7 dress, a junior size, typical of youthful styles of clothing geared to teens...

Back atcha!

The other man, WD, at age 93, last lived in FL. (May be deceased now.) His name seems to end with "-rmuth" not "-ruth," another typo in the article. So we have PB and WD. WD radios the Coast Guard, who notifies Suffolk County detectives (I assume due to proximity). So the trunk was either...

Very nice finds. Via Google I see a Philip Bayne mentioned repeatedly as a Stamford, CT accountant who found the trunk. I think "Dayne" is a typo for Bayne.
