Hey, I spotted a weird old photo on a thrift shop’s Instagram that looks like evidence from a cold case. Want to help me piece together the story?

Here’s the photo and my notes, just in case it’s a genuine lead or just a retro aesthetic. Take a look and tell me what you think.

It’s a grainy black‑and‑white shot of a city street from the 1950s. In the foreground, a man in a fedora and trench coat stands on a cobblestone corner, holding a newspaper that reads “City Chronicle” with a headline that says “Missing Woman, 28”. The background is a row of brick storefronts, one of them has a faded sign that says “Baker’s Corner”. A woman in a 1940s dress is seen in the second row, staring off‑camera with a suspicious look. The alley behind them has a stack of crates and a faint outline of a bicycle wheel. My notes: - The newspaper’s issue date (looking at the paper’s watermark) is April 3rd, 1954. - The woman in the picture has a distinctive birthmark on her left wrist, which matches the birthmark on the missing woman’s last known photo. - The bicycle wheel is a 24‑inch cruiser model, common in that era, but the tire tread pattern is rare; could be a clue to the location. - The alley behind might be a shortcut or hideout; the crates could be evidence storage. - I’m planning to dig up police reports from that date and cross‑check the street map.
