Just want to note I have not went into the links to read yet but just based on your posts and the info from the links shared in the posts,
first thought was this is not an unknown area to someone (or locals) because even though it says things like remote and heavily wooded, the odds of a body dumped and a mushroom hunter coming across it in a short week is unlikely to me. I
don't mean the mushroom hunter had anything to do with it, I mean that at least two people in a week were in this area. That to me means likely locals knew it as a place to mushroom hunt, private, etc. and whoever dumped this child did too. Imo. I just think that is likely.
He isn't matching children missing as listed because it is only been a week imo. Cody Bigsby I understand people looking at but we all know a child missing more than a few days is most likely dead unless a parental abduction, etc., it is just the odds.
I agree with others, this was family or caretaker and as LE said someone around the Easter dinner table knows... They won't find this child reported missing as it looks like the classic known family member scenario killed or abused the boy and dumped the body. Imo.
All speculation on my part, certainly not a sure thing.
It does throw me some that two people in the area in a week doesn't mean it is unknown but it also means the offender should have known other people go there and it may not be long until the body is found so not really a great attempt at a place to hide a body? BUT if one thinks about rural or remote places they know in their own areas, others may frequent them but how often and do they walk through the woods off trail or on one, etc. Just thinking... I don't know.
Now I'm going to go read the links. Did it backwards
