Bodies of young people (sex was undetermined) were found in the 17th century, not recently. The sexes are unknown and it was found in a mix of animal bones. Richard the Third was found with a Roman-era arrow head near him - some two feet below the carpark; some think the youths may be from as early as the Roman era - the Tower was built on top of a Roman fort. I believe they were found 8 feet below.

You're correct. I was recalling a story from the 1990's when two small unidentified lead coffins were found in a small vault next to one which contained the bodies, identified by markings, of two other of Edward's and Elizabeth's children. At the time it was speculated they were the bodies of the two missing princes and I must have remembered some of the wilder and less accurate reports. The Queen has not granted permission for that side chamber to be opened and those unidentified coffins to be examined so who or what's in them is still unknown. I did also read someone's opinion that Henry VII would be the one likely "suspect" in the princes' disappearance other than Richard III but also that their disappearance predates his accession to the throne and access to the Tower. So I agree it's possible Henry Tudor done the dirty deed but would, with all due respect, still consider Richard or one of his people as the lead suspect(s). I think you'd agree that differences of opinion are possible.
