The Boy In The Box (America's Unknown Child)

My most recent posts are going to be about cold cases that not the police, but America has forgotten. I want to remind anyone about cases that have gone unsolved for decades, maybe someone now might remember something or has any kind of lead to solving this crimes. We as one nation need to come together and help investigators solve this horrifying crimes and bring justice to the innocent lives taken away.
