The more I think about this case, the more I question if Kirk, Dr Scott and the letter are red herrings.
The bottom line is this - whoever killed her hid her body disposed of it so well, it has not been found in 75 years. So why on earth would they leave her handbag, with such an incriminating note inside, to be so easily found? There's a whole city full of trash cans where it could have been permanently gotten rid of.
I don't buy she was meeting Kirk that day. If she was meeting him, why would she be writing him a note? The only logical explanation is that he stood her up, but then I would want to know where and how, after giving up waiting for him, she wrote the note. I couldn't see any signs of a pen/pencil or pad of writing paper in the contents of her handbag. I would suggest the possibilty she wrote the note either before she left the house (and was intending on either posting it or dropping it off at Kirk's residence/work, rather than planning to meet him), or wrote it AFTER she disappeared.
As for Dr Scott and the whole abortion gone wrong theory, I agree it is a strong theory. However, if she died in the abortion process, how did her bag end up with a broken strap in the park with an incriminating note conveniently left inside? It doesn't fit in. The doctor would have made sure the bag disappeared with the rest of her.
The bag with the note seems so staged to me. It's like something from a book or movie. I would consider the theory that it was planted there by someone who wanted to make this look like a kidnapping, to divert attention away from someone closer to home. Another possibility would be that she taken by a complete stranger in the park and lost the bag in the scuffle, and the letter is a complete red herring.
The note was analyzed and it was concluded that it was her handwriting and that it had been written recently, as it referred to her mother being out of town. It's possible she was forced to write it, who knows.The more I think about this case, the more I question if Kirk, Dr Scott and the letter are red herrings.

Well now, if his WIFE gave him an alibi, then of course he must be innocent!I've probably mentioned this before, but Jean's sister-in-law Sophie told historian Kyle J. Wood that the police informed her that when they went to question Jean's ex-husband Dexter Benner the day after her disappearance, he had scratches on his face, although his new wife confirmed his alibi.
