Thanks for this.

It also sent me off to listen to Jen Baldwin’s informative talk.

This is a terrific article, Jenny ... A good lesson on the importance of critical analysis across multiple sources of evidence (which all sound evidence needs).

Thanks Jane. Yes it was a good lesson. Fortunately I found other articles about this case otherwise it would have been pushed aside and I wouldn’t have gone looking for that little baby which was my story I wrote about a couple of weeks ago.

Now I’m more confused! But will keep reading between the lines.

Thankfully I found other newspaper reports on the same Subject. If I’d gone with just this one, my Search Of Orphan Annie would never have been found.
