In a groundbreaking development, the 65-year-old mystery of the Boy in the Box has finally been solved. Joseph Augustus Zarelli, the child found dead in a cardboard box in Philadelphia in 1957, has been identified through advanced DNA technology, bringing closure to one of America’s most haunting cold cases.

The tragic story began on February 25, 1957, when Frederick Bonis, a college student, stumbled upon the lifeless body of a small boy wrapped in a plaid blanket, abandoned in the woods.
