Today's first Throwback Thursday episode takes you back to 1957, when a young boy’s body was found in a cardboard box on the outskirts of Philadelphia. No name. No missing person report. No one to claim him. In this episode, we revisit one of America’s most haunting cold cases: The Boy in the Box. As investigators follow promising clues, including a department store box, a mysterious cap, and a handmade blanket, they quickly realize that nothing about this case will be easy. Carter Roy asks: Who was this child? And why was his identity so carefully erased?
