I see this as the most likely explanation
It also seems pretty likely that Jerome was "Gamby," the known double-amputee from across the bay, as described at the end of the article
The identification depends on how correct Jerome's rescuers were in thinking his amputations were not completely healed and so were recent. Gamby showed up across the bay four years previous and was missing his legs then.
Why not both ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
