Incredibly sad story of a very young boy, beaten to death and abandoned. It's hard to understand how someone could do this to a child, and for no one to ever come forward when a child disappears. Moving how the case affected so many lives of investigators through the years. It did get a bit side-tracked about other cases of children who were essentially "thrown away". Well written book. Be ready to have your heart tugged on if you read this one.

On February 25, 1957 a young boy was found in a cardboard box. Despite the efforts of detectives remains unsolved. In November 1998 the remains were exhumed for DNA testing. In June of 2002 a woman comes forward with a compelling and heartbreaking story. Leaving you with so many unanswerable questions.
The book does tend to jump around a bit and Author does a lot of speculation on the subject but does draw you in and keep you reading.
