You need to pick up Propaganda in order for the bandana to drop off of the mobs.
Just to explain how I confirmed this for the sake of the skeptical ^_~, I repeatedly went to Moonbrook between quests in the investigation quest chain to see if they would drop off [npc=42677]. Before I picked up this quest it did not drop. After I picked the quest up it was a 100% drop rate.
Also, [npc=42677] can be found hiding just behind the buildings in Moonbrook.
Interestingly, this quest's completion dialogue contradicts the official timeline (though the official timeline is bonkers, and five years would've made way more sense).

Description
The material of this bandana is identical to the material found at the Furlbrow murder scene. You should collect more red bandanas as evidence and return what you find to Captain Alpert.
