  • Hi Guys, thanks for listening and thanks for the feedback we have been receiving, we really appreciate every one of you and love to hear from you.
  • This week the beautiful Kimberley is covering the  Boy in a box.
  • this  is a sad story about a child that has been terribly abused. 
  • This episode is not overly graphic, however there is a trigger warning as the storyline is pretty awful.
  • The "Boy in the Box" is the name given to an unidentified murder victim,
  •  a 4-to 6-year-old boy, whose naked, battered body was found in a bassinet box in the Fox Chase section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on February 25, 1957.
  •  He is also commonly called "America's Unknown Child." 
  • His identity has never been discovered, and the case remains open.
  • There are many theories about what happened to this little boy and Kim presents them in this episode.
  • Police believe that there are still witnesses out there who can identify him, so if you know anything, please come forward.
  • Investigators have now gained a DNA profile on the boy and hope to use this to identify him in the future.
  • have a listen to this sad tale and have your tissues ready.
  • Please take care and stay safe, Love Steph and Kim xx
