That's the problem, it was kept secret. We don't know how or when they died. We don't know if they died in the tower. We only know they disappeared. We can make our best guess and follow a trail. It looks like Richard lll or even Henry Vll. We don't know for certain. Someone knew and they didn't talk or were killed themselves. I think follow the trail of who was killed instead of the Princes. There were many on both sides. Buckingham and Hastings were both killed by Richard for treason. They supported his claim to the throne but they also hated the Woodvilles.
Richards Brother the King Edward the lV obviously had no problem with the Woodville uncles surrounding his son Edward V. Richard was happy in York by accounts. On his death bed he reconsidered and appointed Richard Protector not the Woodvilles. A conciliatory act perhaps. But as soon as Richard comes within striking distance of the Woodvilles he acts against them.
