On a cold morning in February, 1957 a passerby in Fox Chase, Philadelphia discovered a box in the woods containing the shriveled remains of a young boy. The child’s body was highly disturbing and confused investigators. While he clearly had signs of extreme abuse he also showed signs that he was meticulously cared for. This included a fresh haircut, a cleaned body, trimmed nails, and even plucked eyebrows.Despite a lengthy and thorough search for who was behind the murder of this child police hit a dead end, and it appeared as if this boy had never even existed. To this day, the case has been an endless road of bad leads and mysterious details which we now refer to as “The Boy In The Box”.Subscribe to CreepTime premium for access to exclusive new episodes and solo mystery deep-dives for highly requested cases from fans.
