1. The shoes. The shoes are referred to here in this thread as being size 12 & 1/2. Inthe chapter on Evelyn's kidnapping in "Getting Away with Murder" they are described as being size 11. This would be more in line with someone able to get through the narrow basement window. Is there some comfirmation of which size is correct out there somewhere?
1a. The mark on the bottom of the shoes is described as circular. I have seen bicycle pedals with curved front and rear sections which would leave a circular indention. It also occurs to me that perhaps they meant 'cylindrical' . If you look at the Whizzer in the following link, you'll see that it has fixed footpegs, not pedals, that would leave a cylindrical impression in a shoe. There's also a circular piece between the engine and the rear wheel that may be an auxiliary footrest.

2. The jacket. Again, in "Getting Away with Murder", the jacket is described as a 'farm jumper' having had the tail cut off and sewn up with white thread. The jacket originally would come down past the hips of the wearer. If Josephson's deduction of it having belonged to a steeplejack is correct, then he could possibly have sat on the tail, causing it to wear out sooner than the rest of the jacket. This makes me think that perhaps the jacket had been discarded, or given away by the original owner.
3. Ed Gein. When police searched the farm of Ed Gein, among the body parts they found were two vulvas that had come from teenage girls. According to Judge Gollmar's book on Gein, there were no girls of that age buried in the graveyard(s) during the relevant time period Ed robbed graves. Ed may well have murdered two teenage girls, which would put Evelyn into his victim type group.
Judge Gollmar also says that Ed's victim, Mary Hogan, was carried to Ed's car after he killed her, not dragged. Given that Hogan was a large woman (some accounts say she was 200 lbs.) It is highly unlikely that Ed carried her by himself. Gollmar says Ed did have a friend named Gus, that went insane shortly after Hogan's murder. If correct, this would show that Ed had someone he could trust to help him carry out his criminal activities and that he could have had help in kidnapping Evelyn, if indeed, he did it.
Against this, Gollmar's book is not without errors. He gets missing girl, Georgia Jean Weckler's name wrong. He calls her Mary Jane Weckler and implies that she was 15, not 8. He also decribes the car that might have been used to abduct her as white, not dark or black. Gein did own a white Ford that no one had seen him drive, but if it's the wrong color, it may be irrelevant. However, Gein did have a dark colored Ford Which I've found described as both maroon and black, which would fit the description of a dark car. Still, the vulvas found at his house would be from too old a person to have been Georgia's.
Could one of the people that have bought "Where's Evelyn" tell me the price?
Anyway, some things to think about.
