New York Daily News:

LOS ANGELES - Cops are following clues that suggest a link between the author of "Peter Pan" and the mummified remains of two babies found in a Los Angeles basement.

The macabre mystery began late Tuesday when two women cleaning a building's storage area discovered the tiny skeletal remains shrouded in 1930s newspapers.

They were tucked into black leather satchels and locked in a steamer trunk emblazoned with the initials JMB.

There was no birth control, or abortion in those days, and probably a huge stigma if a baby was born dead or died mysteriously thought naturally after child birth. It must have been extremely difficult for people to handle any situtation where they weren't prepared for children or had some difficulty that didn't allow for children in the family. Or maybe someone just muur dered them. Who could ever know?
