DNA tests showed that Helen Kramer is not Lorraine Alison, a two-year-old girl who was considered dead during the famous crash of the Titanic on April 15, 1912. Miss Kramer died in 1982 – she became famous when in 1940 stated on the radio that she is the lost child who survived disaster.
Kramer has held this position all his life, although it’s not clear – whether she herself conceived this fraud, or she was inspired by this thought, when she was still a child. She assured that she was saved and raised to the board of the life raft Thomas Andrews himself is a man designed the famous ocean liner. Lorraine Alison and her the mother was considered dead during the wreck of the ship, but their bodies were never found. The child’s father also died that night, but his the body was discovered. Kramer insisted that she adopted and raised her a man who finds himself on the same liferaft, and who then explained to her that she was the lost child.
The sensationalism of this story was added by Debrina Woods – Helen’s granddaughter Kramer, who stated that she has physical evidence that her grandmother is exactly who she claims to be. Recently Woods reported that she was writing a book about this story. It turned out enough for a group of Titanic fans to put everything together and created the so-called “Identity Project Lorraine Elliston.” The project raised enough funds to conduct DNA research. both families involved – and their results showed complete lack of communication between them.
The intensity of the story of the lost child increased even more when it was announced that Lorraine was considered the only child in the first class of the ship, when it went down. Various testimonies from crash survivors said her family stayed on the ship and looked for her younger brother Lorraine, who at this time was saved and put on a lifeboat by a waiter with the ship. It is believed that he was the only member of the family, survivors of this disaster.
