Well, we know now there is at least one child buried at The Villa...

Teddy Getty Gaston

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy_Getty_Gaston

Teddy Getty Gaston (1913–2017) (born Louise Dudley Theodora Lynch, also known as Teddy Lynch and Theodora Getty) was an American author and singer. She was the last wife of J. Paul Getty.

Life with John Paul Getty[edit]

While singing at a nightclub in New York in 1935, Lynch met J. Paul Getty.[1][2] The two start dating. Lynch wanted to be an opera singer and Getty paid for her lessons. The couple married in Rome, Italy, in 1939.[1]

Lynch went to England and Italy to study opera and she worked as a journalist for the New York Herald Tribune.[1] On the dawn of World War II, Lynch was arrested and held by the Italian Fascist Party and was accused of being a spy.[2] She was freed and moved back to the US in 1942. Getty was living in Oklahoma and Lynch chose to reside in Santa Monica, California. Lynch had a son with Getty named Timmy, who died aged 12 of a brain tumor. Getty was overseas when Timmy died and remained there when the boy was buried at the family's home, now the Getty Villa.[1]

I wonder if that poor unfortunate loss is what prompted him to fill the rest of the yard?

Miss Gaston probably had a few demons of her own:

His Favorite Wife ‘Alone Together,’ by Teddy Getty Gaston

"Teddy Lynch met Getty in 1935, when she was a deb and a chanteuse at the New Yorker nightclub. She had no idea who he was, and when her friends said, “He’s in oil,” Lynch asked: “ ‘Oil’? What show is that?” Perhaps she had some reason other than money to look at a man 20 years her senior. She came from a home of privilege and secrets; her stepfather, a success and a drunk, sexually assaulted her at night, once telling her she deserved it because she was “nothing but a dirty little Jew! Like your father!” Yet she loved the man she knew as Dad. So when another father figure came along — a man almost twice her age when they met, who claimed to value her Jewish heritage (her father and grandfather were prosperous merchants in Chicago) — she perhaps thought she could get the approval she craved."

Pretty interesting look at Getty hanging out with Teddy on what looks like the Villa:

My gut has always told me there is some connection between pg and Getty family. I'm gonna have to look back on past threads that discussed the Getty and note which shills came out to play.

I was thinking the same thing, especially when the fire was circling the museum. I thought it was somehow going to burn to hide whatever secrets it was holding.

Yes, his father was George. Can this be true? I would hardly be shocked.
