The Mysterious Death of the Boy in the Box

 One of the biggest mysterious unsolved death cases in the world is the boy in the box case, so what is this weird case that is called the boy in the box, let's find out!


On February 25th, 1957 a body has been found in a box which after some investigation it appeared to be a boy in an illegal dumping area in Pennsylvania, after investigation, it turned out that the boy is from the age of 4 to 6, weighing around 30 pounds, and 3 feet 3 inches was his height as he was naked but wrapped in a blanket, as the hair was cut and the body was washed and cleaned, the kid had scars around his chin, ankle and his groin area but the head was the reason why he is dead.

The body was found by a young man that was walking occasionally by the area, but the weird thing that the man waited a full day before contacting the police but it gets weirder because a guy found the body before the young man but decided that he will not call the police as the old guy stated that he didn't want to get involved in this weird situation.

Due to the cold of the weather at this time plus the guy who waited for the who day to call the police, they didn't know when the boy was killed, as the police didn't find his identity so they kept him in the morgue as visitors came to see try to identify the body, people came from 10 different states to try to identify the boy, police gave out 400,000 flyers all over the country to know what happened!

The police started to compare all kid’s footprints to the hospital’s records but there were no results that the boy has existed but there were clues that came from the box itself, it contained a serial number that came from a JCP store which is 15 miles away, as it shipped bassinet but the people who were shipped too have paid cash which left no evidence but many of these people called the police when they saw the news.

These people who saw the news stated whether they have their boxes or they threw it away so after this situation the police able to determine where the box came from which was upper Darby, Pennsylvania.

The blanket that was wrapped around the boy was examined and it was made either from Canada or North Carolina, another clue was found which was a hat 15 feet away from the box, it was a special hat from a small store from North Philadelphia.

The owner of the small store remembers the guy who purchased the hat because it had specific details who she described it as a blond man between the ages of 26 to 30 and paid in cash and she never saw him again.

All these evidence leads were dead-end so people assumed theories about this situation.

One of the theories said that the boy died accidentally because he was clean which indicates he was taken care of, as the family maybe didn't come forward because they didn't want to get charged with murder as the investigator went to the house close to the murder scene which the police already investigated.

What's ur first flashback/memory?

 What's Happening? I just love flashbacks when I was younger, it's amazing how the human mind reminds you of small details but at the same time, I don't remember what I ate yesterday lmao, anyways I'm going to write the flashbacks that happened to me when I was younger, and funny memories as well! Pool time? My first flashback is my first memory but it's a horrible memory though, it's a very dark and horrible time to me, so to begin with it was my first time getting stitches and was on my chin, what happened was I was copying what my friend was doing in the pool as she was jumping in the pool from behind which turning her back to the pool and jumping backward, so i was a little young girl who was five at the time, but what happened was when I copied her I didn't get far enough when jumped to the pool so my chin hit the edge and injured myself, so I really remember my point of view of people getting me out of the pool and rushing me to the doctor, which was h

 What's Happening?  Top inventions that were made by women changed the world, let's praise them! 1. Medical syringe to be honest, I never knew that who did the syringe and always had no information about women doing any inventions I don't know why but this invention was done by Letitia Geer and was done in 1899, as they did the syringe that required two hands to do the injections correctly without resulting any harm, so basically, she invented the syringe that required only one hand that all medical practices use it now! "Her syringe design includes a cylinder, piston rod, a handle, and nozzle. The piston rod had a U-shaped handle for easier grip. The handle was designed in a way to be reached even in extreme positions. The hook at the free end of the syringe prevented hands from slipping."
