Help on some timeline stuff please...

So, when Ali first went missing, she was 15, right? And Bethany was 17. Jason was still in his stoner phase, because we know he thought for a while he might have killed Alison. Was Jason a stoner while in college? Supposedly he went to an Ivy League... If not, that means Jason was around 18 (maybe 19 if he didn't go to college right away) when Ali left. The NAT Club thing was more of a high school thing too, but they were doing stuff together around the same time Ali went missing. So that makes it sound like Jason is only like 4 years older than Ali, and like 2 years older than Bethany. That's the backstory and early in the series.

BUT we know Jason, Garret, Ian, and Melissa were all in the same high school class, and were all adults and fairly successful when the show started, at least 22 years old. So that means Jason would be like 6-7 years older than Ali, and like 4-5 years older than Bethany. That's more the modern indications of age.

I dunno, my head is all turned around.

I'm trying to figure out if the baby girl in Charles's film is Ali or not. Based on recent indications of age, it couldn't be Ali if one of the boys is Jason. The age difference isn't significant enough. So is it Bethany? Or could it still be Ali since the backstory of when Ali went missing suggests Jason isn't THAT much older than the girls?
