One of the biggest problems was because the daughter had moved
to another state and waited many years to report what she knew
and what she had seen. By the time she came forward, her mother
and the others had died. The information involved events she
remembered as a girl. There was no way to verify much of the
information, one way or the other. The daughter was also a
traumatized victim. People have tried to discredit her. She has
a PhD and worked as a scientist for one of the top US pharmacy
companies. She is a very intelligent woman, but her
recollections are what she saw as a girl. The two counties don't
want to carry the expense or the burden of investigating a cold
case that is now 60 years old, with sketchy information. DNA
from the tooth will only be helpful for relatives of the little
boy's mother. The girl suspected a connection to her father's
relative and that wouldn't show up.

It is my understanding that the little boy was severely
disabled. He reportedly didn't speak or walk. There was evidence
on his body that he had surgery at some point. The Philadelphia
police contacted hospitals throughout the US and there were no
surgical reports in their records. At one time, the police were
looking at a possible immigrant family, but there were no
records there, either. He had very little muscle development on
his body. The little guy would never have been able to tell his
story and perhaps that is what the pedophiles wanted.

I have no idea if the little boy's biological mother or the
uncle are still alive. I don't believe they were married to each
other and the uncle did have a family. I'll see if I can find
out about the uncle. The group of pedophiles have all died. They
were friends of the mother. The daughter's mother and her family
were well known in the Philadelphia Main Line and they had lived
there for many years. The daughter's father was originally from
a small town in the coal region of Pennsylvania. Perhaps, the
little boy was born there. The daughter was reportedly with her
mother when she purchased the little boy and brought him home to
live in the basement. The daughter can describe the house they
went to, but as a girl she had no idea where in the City of
Philadelphia it was located. The basement currently has no
forensic value to an investigation because it has been remodeled
several times in 60 years and there would be no traces of the
boy's DNA or anything of forensic value. The daughter was with
her mother when the little boy was dumped in Fox Chase. Some of
the information she recalls does match reports by a witness who
approached them that night.
I just don't think this case will be solved without a match to
the little boy's mitochondrial DNA. The police and FBI have the
DNA reports. Maybe some day, someone will be identified.
Unfortunately, those responsible for this horrific situation
won't ever be arrested or sent to prison because they are no
longer alive. If they reopened the case at this point, who could
they arrest? The Philadelphia Police Detectives buried the
little boy in a beautiful location at a nice cemetery

Bill Fleisher of the Vidocq Society is agnostic about Mary's
story. "Nothing she said has been proved; nothing she said has
been disproved," he says repeatedly.

Unknown Child (Kindle Location 2237). Kindle Edition.
Just another frustrating dead end. But not to Bill Kelly and Joe
McGillen. Not yet, anyhow. Mary was just too impressive in her
recollections, too impressive sive as a person, for them to
dismiss her story out of hand.

Unknown Child (Kindle Locations 2235-2236). Kindle Edition.
"No further progress has been made during the past year," the
society says. "However, the investigators have begun a new
initiative. They are trying to determine if the DNA profile of
America's Unknown Child
matches any of the DNA profiles in a national mitochondrial DNA
database."

KELLY My son named his son, Jonathon, out of respect for me. And
my love for you. I hope you can ever forgive me for not getting
to the truth near well as I should have. I know: Mary claims
your name is Jonathon. But I can't confirm Mary's story yet. Out
of respect for Mary, I'll call you Jonathon. Frankly, I believe
her.
