Were people so stupid in 1972 that they weren't checking every dumpster in the area for the body? I don't think so.

Additionally, people who would commit a crime like child rape and murder tend to escalate over time. The guy should have been busted before 1980 on another case. People with the capacity to commit this kind of crime aren't one-offs.

The NYPD may have found a convenient victim.
