Bonnie Belza Makes Her Appearance
As the years passed by, each lead that they tracked down wound up in a dead-end. D’Anna was starting to lose hope that they would ever find Elliot’s biological parents, and Elliot wasn’t getting any younger either.

Bonnie was in the audience when D’Anna was telling Elliot’s story. He relayed her fame as the Hatbox Baby, and their quest to find her biological parents. Touched by the story, Bonnie offered D’Anna her services in solving the case. Unsurprisingly, D’Anna was over the moon and couldn’t wait to tell Elliot the good news.
