Have you guys ever heard of "The Boy In The Box"??

I saw a short documentary on it last night and then looked it up on line. I tell ya, seeing the documentary and even more so, reading more details REALLY made me sad......It's the unsolved case of a small boy who was found dead close to Philadelphia in 1957. He was found, naked, wrapped in a blanket inside a cardboard box. He was estimated to be between 4 and 7 years old. There were signs that he had been BADLY beaten and under fed. The poor kid obviously went through pure hell but nobody even knew his name, where he was from or ANYTHING. Police even did a strange thing by posting a post mortem photo of him dressed, to hopefully trigger any clues as to who he might be. NOBODY ever laid claim to anything about him. In 1998, he was exhumed for modern DNA that STILL led to nothing. After being exhumed, he was laid to rest in a nice cemetary. If you Google it, the pictures are rather graphic but I simply found it all VERY sad. I got misty eyed just reading about it.
