McSTAY FAMILY - Found Dead 4 Years After Vanishing

[HairOfTheDog]

Does anyone know if the birthmark was public knowledge? I suppose it was if a description had been put out. Such a curious case. I want to say that people don't just up & leave but I guess it probably happens all the time.

The birthmark was public knowledge; it was described in missing persons fliers, news articles, etc...

Not sure if the restaurant tipster saw someone with a similar birthmark or if he did indeed see the McStays and they were killed sometime later (assuming he wasn't lying).

IIRC, the tipster said it was a little boy and a little girl with the couple. Gianni McStay was a beautiful boy and the boys both wore caps often (like the ones the kids in the border crossing video are wearing), so it didn't render the tip obviously invalid.



Interested to learn how long the ME estimates the McStays have been dead; when he/she finishes the analysis.
