I found one child named Colleen Anderson and Ralph died 13 Jan 1962 in Sacramento County, CA., this was all the information I found the couple.
Interesting scam, she must of had to have had sex with some of these men, which I would think would not be an easy thing to do, or an easy life to live, what a way to make a living, could have been very dangerous.
