  • This happened just down the way from where I grew up. I never really heard much about it until recently. I suppose it was rather 'a little before my time' though. Quite the mystery from all accounts.
    Best wishes,

    Tristan

      It’s an interesting one Tristan but one that’s unlikely to be solved imo.

        I would agree. Maybe some mysteries are best left unsolved?
        Best wishes,

          Im not so sure about that Herlock. With the latest DNA research perhaps if they IDed the victim, that would be afirst step in solving? provided of course there is any DNA left anywhere from the victim.

          • Maybe. This sad case dates from 1957, and genealogical DNA identified the child.

            More than six decades after a boy was found dead in a box in Philadelphia, investigators have identified the child with the help of DNA, police announced Tuesday.
