WTF?? She left her babies and all her things behind, but nobody thought to report her missing for FOUR MONTHS??

Also, I'm wondering who saw her with her boyfriend, and in what context. Did they seem normal? Upset? etc.

From her NamUs:

Circumstances of Disappearance: DAVENPORT reported missing to P.P.D. 02/23/1976 by bio brother (located/interviewed/DNA). DAVENPORT was last seen in the company of her boyfriend Robert WILKINS (deceased) at 7201 Devon Street, 19119. DAVENPORT left behind clothing, a vehicle and 11 month old twins - male (deceased) and female (located/interviewed/DNA).

Interesting, but it looks like Seneca Jane Doe was murdered over a year after Ms. Davenport's disappearance so I think it's probably not a match. Just my thinking on it.
