Mary Elizabeth “Betsy” Abel graduated from Murrell Dobbins Career & Technical Education High School in North Philly in 1949 and, like most graduates at the time, was quickly thrust into adulthood. A couple of years after she was planning proms, she was dealing with a pregnancy. A daughter was born in 1950 and immediately put up for adoption.
Sounds like Betsy was a little loose back then.

What remains unclear, for now, is how or where Zarelli met Abel, whether he knew she’d been pregnant and had a child. He was five years older and living in the Callowhill home with his family when the 1950 census was taken. Abel’s relative said one of her sisters may have lived in West Philadelphia. Abel did, too, the relative said, on the second floor of a walk-up apartment with Plunkett and their daughter, who was born in December 1956.
I guess this is obviously the time period to concentrate on and brings the Plunkett man into the suspect pool, assuming the boy was living with the mom and not given up for adoption like her first child.

Yes the Reddit board was speculating about her husband, especially since they had a child born in 1956, which brings bassinet purchase (box) into the timeline. But there could have been some informal type of adoption or fostering situation, whether ongoing or intermittent.
Also bio mom and her husband had four children, three surviving to adulthood, but one girl born in 1964 who died shortly after birth. Cause of death was hydrops erythroblastosis fetalis, which is caused by an Rh issue. I cannot shake the thought that JAZ was never in good health in his short lifetime.
