Just Jill…

After years of searching, another home DNA test cracked the case of what happened to the baby kidnapped in 1964. The child of a Michigan man took a DNA test that showed a connection to Dora and Chester Fronczak. That man – Kevin Baty – was the missing newborn Paul Fronczak.

The woman who raised Kevin had died years earlier, so no one knows how Kevin Baty went from a Chicago hospital to a small Michigan town.

In Dec. 2019, Dora Fronczak spoke with her missing son, Kevin Baty. Dora wanted to know what kind of life Kevin had lived. The pair planned to meet. But time had run out – Baty died from cancer in April 2020.

Fronczak continues to look for Jill – and new discoveries could upend the story of the triple disappearance.

Original Paul Fronczak was found, but not publicly identified. He died a few years ago. He did not meet his birth parents again, but I believe he did speak with his birth mother on the phone before he died.

Jill, the twin sister, is still missing.

Edit: megs1477 said it best.

DF was in her mid 80’s. Knowing of ongoing medical issues and ill health, I did a bit of digging. I stumbled upon a notice online of DF’s passing late September 2021. It appears this was from an obituary that was pulled from funeral home digital and/or press obits. So an obit is not available.

This is incorrect. DF is still alive, PJF just spoke about her yesterday (in the present tense) on his podcast, The Fronczak Files.
