Identified! PA - Philadelphia, 'Boy in the Box', WhtMale 4-6, 4UMPA, Feb'57

[Rutt]

I have been to the site where the boy was dropped off (in fact, less then two weeks ago) and I must say, the motorist who saw the lady and the young boy (or girl, if you believe in M's story) standing outside their car aroundthe time he was found was said to have been on Verree Road, looking down Sesquahanna (I know I spelled that incorrectly). To be back at Verree, to see all the way down where he was dropped off, is quite a distance. Perhaps the motorist drove down the Sesquahanna Road, or maybe they (woman and boy) were closer to Verree then where the boy was dumped when he spotted them. I don't know, I jsut know to see from the intersection all the way down to the dumpsite is too far to make a clear observation. Clearly, they could have moved after being spotted. Just some thoughts.

That's something to think about. I think I am more apt to believe his story than I am M's. Not saying she is lying but maybe her memories are clouded and it was another boy she's thinking of, but no I don't think there is much to that. Wish we knew if the hanky with the letter "C" is related in any way.

Can someone please help me.In 1957 if DHS Child Welfare removed a child from the child's home where were they put in as a holding facility in Philadelphia,Montgomery,Delaware and Bucks Counties.

if the boy in connected at all to our renters, they had no "C" (I thoought it was a "G") in their name, first or last.

Yes you are right it's a "G" and don't know if it was a first or last name it was the only initial on the hanky.

If anyone knows who this other little boy was or who these people were of who this little boy that was put in the orphanage please let me know ok? I feel they should do DNA testing on that little boy to see if he is the boy in the box.

Unidentified Pennsylvania Couple - In March 1957, a Manayunk, PA couple told detectives they thought the boy might be their 6-year-old son, whom they had last seen seven months earlier when he was placed in an orphanage by the Municipal Court. The mother said the boy "looks like him" and the father said he wasn't "too sure." A team of detectives later found the boy in a private orphanage in West Philadelphia.


Can someone please ask them to check with DNA with that little boy put in that orphanage to see if he is the boy in the box.

It just really bothers me that the mother of this little boy put in that orphanage said the boy in the box looks like her son.I just can't put that to rest.I really feel a mother would know who her son was if she saw him.

I apologize if this has already been mentioned - but to me, based strictly on his facial features, this boy appears to have a rare genetic disorder called Williams Syndrome.

Of course, his features could have been distorted by injuries, but he has what might be described as an "elfin" look, which is typical of Williams Syndrome. The apparent surgical scars could have been a result of complications of the disorder. Williams Syndrome can cause urinary and gastrointestinal problems, and unusual eye features. People with Williams Syndrome always have blue eyes, and often have unusual patterns and features in the iris.

If he did indeed have Williams Syndrome, it would have been undiagnosed, as it wasn't "discovered" until the 1960s. It could really help narrow down this child's genetic lineage as it is a rare disorder.

Suzanne, it appears that they did locate the boy alive in an orphanage in West Philly after our unknown boy had died.

I want to know if they (LE) actually saw this little boy or just took someone's word for it he was there.What was the story with that?I feel they need to double check that boy with DNA testing to see if he is the boy in the box.I do feel LE was lied to by the orphanage he was there.If I had the name of this little boy I can trace him to where he is today.Where is this little boy today?


I do feel there was a cover up with one of these Orphanages,foster homes,institutions or DHS Child welfare somewhere.

Suzanne, I'm going to search and see if I can find the boy's name...I'll keep you posted as soon as I find anything!

Ok.Thank You.

So many theories, hard to know which ones think about, M's story is not one that I want to look at. There were and are so many orphanages/foster homes/hospitals etc. not just in Phili but in the the surrounding states that he could have come from. The word overwhelming is an understatement.

There are a couple more theories to look at, Rutt and the renters, he has done a lot of research on that. Then there is the man who saw a mother and son on the side of the road two days before the body was found.

If that theory were correct, if I let my mind go in that direction, I would have to think I would also connect the strange phone call the police received that asked if there was something mentally wrong with the boy, then further asked if the policeman knew what it was like to take care of a child who was mentally challenged. Very strange questions to me. I would also try to tie in the hanky with the initial G, either a first initial or last initial. Following this line of thinking, as far as the blanket goes, IF the child did not come from an institution maybe its possible the mother or father worked at one and would have had access to this type of blanket.....just thinking about this in different ways.

Today is the 56th anniversary of when this sweet little boy was found.Was there a vigil for him? Was there an article written to help find out who he is? Any new leads followed? Isotope DNA testing to help find out who he is. Anything at all? This makes me very sad.I will honor him then on the day he was found.

I had the honor of visiting his little grave on March 9th 2012. I sat on the white bench and talked to him and prayed in Jesus's name again he will get his name. I am praying again another prayer today.It was very moving and very special to me to visit with him. There were toys and a car on his grave site. I put a cloth rose in the ground for him.It feels good for me to know people have not forgot him. I pray they still do not forget about him.I promised him I will never quit looking for who he is. I asked him who are you? What do you want me to do to find out who you are? Show me or someone the way. It is time. He needs his real name on his grave. But he needs the truth also.He does deserve that. I promised him I will never quit looking for who he is and I won't.Please help find out who this little one is.Please do not give up on him.Some one please re investigate his case again.

 

[Ms Suzanne]

From me to you little boy in the box with my love and respect. Fly little one Fly.

Isotope type testing may be one of the last hopes and things they can do for him to help find out who he is or any Genealogy DNA data bases to put him in.This really is the very very least they can do for him.We need people to help push them to please do this for this little one.He deserves so much better than this.

 

[Ms Suzanne]

WOW Can she or someone do this for the boy in the box.See what both parents may have looked like.If this lady can do this for a week old baby.Surely they can do this for this little boy in the box.I feel there is still so much more they can do for this little one to help find out who he is.This and isotope testing ect...Why isn't this all being done for him.I am not giving up trying to find out who this little one is.

Gibson typically draws composite sketches of wanted individuals based on descriptions by witnesses. Since Chloe -- named by her rescuers -- is clearly unable to give a statement, Gibson has attempted to predict what her parents look like based only on Chloe's appearance.

"[Gibson] took a photo of the week-old baby and did an age progression of what the baby would like and from there, what the mother and father would look like," Harris County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Christina Garza told ABC News.

May I please ask you did you or anyone find out who this little boy put in that orphanage was?

Hi - I looked but wasn't able to find anything. I'm glad you posted because I have a couple of other sites I wanted to check and had put them on the back burner. I will spend some more time looking this weekend and keep you posted. Thanks for caring about this special boy.

I hope someone turns this in and checks with DNA and that boy put in that orphanage for a match with this little boy in the box.This is my #1 lead right now that I feel should be checked.
