Yes and I also, knowing Sgt K fairly well, sensed some bitterness and embarrassment. There is a lot I could say about this whole saga, but I can’t spend hours writing with the NCAA Tournament on. There are differing opinions on why they haven’t (admittedly anyways) taken our evidence – which I might add was gift wrapped for them – and examine it. Kuhlmeier, with whom I’ve spoken to many, many times, definitely seemed interested in our evidence (Rutt, Louis and myself).

While a forensic pathologist agreed that there are similarities between the Boy in the Box and his proposed father and brother, that’s as far as it will go without DNA testing. Their theory centers around the testimony of a woman who claims her mother bought a child, who was then abused until he died, along with rumours about another man who allegedly sold his son. In March of this year, two authors announced they believe they know the boy’s identity. Incredibly, new theories are still coming to light. When his body was first discovered, police were optimistic, but the third generation of cops is now on the case and they’re no closer to finding the truth. He is believed to have been between four and six years old. In 1957, the nude, battered body of a little boy was found wrapped in a blanket in a bassinet box in the woods. But the people of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania have never forgotten him.Įven his age is unknown.

There’s the Black Dahlia, Jack the Ripper, and America’s Unknown Child, also known as The Boy in the Box.
