In the Ivy Hill Cemetery in Cedarbrook, Philadelphia is a headstone that reads “America’s Unknown Child.” It belongs to a little boy, between the ages of two and five, who was found in a cardboard box in 1957. Detectives did their best to identify the child but to no avail.
This case has been stumping law enforcement for over 60 years now and has driven the public mad, causing new theories to pop up sporadically, leaving hundreds of questions unanswered. To this day, no one is even close to understanding what happened.
