have they ever tried to see if the boy in the box was him?

Wasn't the boy in the box (1958)? Ronald would have been 9 years old. Could a 9 -year old boy look 4-6 years old if he was malnourished. I know that the Grimes sisters was 1957 and I thought the boy in the box was two months later.

I meant 57 and yes a boy 9 could fit in the box that size. them bassinets from back then were pretty big size to what we got nowadays. the boy in the box was also said to be anywhere from 4 to 7 years old
