The Boy in the Box

from The Unknown

In February 1957 in Philadelphia, PA a boy was discovered dead in a box in underbrush. The boy was extremely sick looking, and had clearly been murdered. Police wondered just how long the boy had been dead, in that box, and if anyone was looking for him. From a psychic telling a medical examiner the boy was from a foster home, to an unnamed woman coming forward saying her mother had bought this child and abused it, police had plenty of leads to follow. To this day this case is unsolved, and police are still trying to solve this case to this day. Who is the boy in the box, and what exactly happened to him?
