The Boy in the Box

from Midnight Case Files · host Arikeru Miracle

In 1957, police discovered the body of a young boy abandoned inside a cardboard box on the side of a lonely road in Philadelphia. He had no name. No missing persons report. No family searching for him. For decades, nobody knew who he was… or who killed him. The mystery became one of the most haunting unsolved child murder cases in American history.
