Episode description

This week we’re discussing the infamous story behind ‘the boy in the box.’ In 1957 the body of a young boy was found discarded in a cardboard box on the side of a road in Philadelphia. It wasn’t until a few months ago that the victim was finally identified thanks to advances in DNA.
