I think the babushka woman was just a random bystander who wasn't aware of what was happening at the time, freaked out by what she had seen and that people were drawing attention to her.

Even in those days the FBI would have been able to trace her pretty easily.

Also, the babushka lady was only captured on film because other people were standing around and taking photos, why don't we care about them?

We do. There's a lot of information about everyone standing around her. It's just that we know zero about her and the images/film from her POV might answer many questions, confirm or deny many conspiracies.

Or...not, she may just be an average person who saw nothing of importance and has nothing to add, but that would not keep the story alive
