The 25 kids would explain this comment:

She had two sons, but she adopted another 25 people during the time she came to Washington, said her older son, Tony Podesta, a Washington public affairs strategist.

Interesting. If there are actual adoption records (though I doubt it) then if there are not death certificates for them (and probably not) then it's possible they could be reported as missing persons. That might generate some interest among the masses.

Dude... brilliant. Names, background checks, etc. I wish it was a little easier to dig into stuff like this. If true, how would these 25 brothers/sisters go completely off the grid for decades when related to such a powerful duo?

My guess is that they were never on the grid to begin with. As in, imported like produce from another country and/or bought from mothers who didn't want them and preferred cash over their own baby. We know they like them especially young so it wouldn't raise eyebrows if they kept the kids out of view as much as possible and if anyone asked questions, they could have claimed the kids were being home schooled. They were probably dead before they even reached junior high. No death certificates because no doctor or authority would have been alerted that the kids were murdered. But for investigative purposes, that could be a good thing as there won't be an official explanation of death. The trick will be to prove the children existed in the first place (especially since they probably didn't have birth certificates) and with descriptions as well as solid eye witness testimony. Add to the challenge is all the years since the time this occurred. However, it can be done. And even if a conclusive case isn't built, collecting enough circumstantial evidence to establish the opposite of reasonable doubt might be enough to shine some light into the dark places.

Sounds like the place to start searching is in Chicago. Someone who knew them back in the day has to know something about the kids, right?

Exactly. Personal recollections would be an excellent start. Preferably, in person interviews to put the witnesses at ease. I'd start with neighbors. Lots of old families in the areas surrounding Chicago. Houses sometimes pass from one generation to the next, so the stories of the Podestas may have as well. If Grandma has passed on, the kids might remember the stories she told of "those wild Podestas and their 25 kids" or whatever. Also, that's a lot of kids to feed. I don't know what neighborhood they were in, but a lot of them still have little corner grocery stores. Maybe the owners or their kids remember when the Podesta crew used to come in shopping. People generally want to help, so a witness might offer several other names to contact, and each of those might recommend several more. Pretty soon, you have a wide net cast.

Get this! I found out that Podesta worked at a now non-existent college that's only 5 mins from where I live! I've posted this before but a few years ago there were a series of teenage suicides by train. The town is very old money. And someone said that Epstein was spotted at the train station a few years ago. A small world!!

Wow! Might be worth following up on, but be careful. There's nothing cowardly about being paranoid when it comes to investigating killers.
