The case that would not close · 1964

The Kidnapping of Baby Paul Fronczak

A nurse's uniform. An emptied crib. A newborn who vanished from Michael Reese Hospital in 1964 — and a search that never truly ended. For the first time, the investigation is open to everyone.

From the investigator

A letter from the room's host

“I have lived inside this case for years. I have followed the records, the people, and the questions everyone else moved on from. I have always believed the answer is out there — in a document, or in the memory of someone who saw more than they realized.”

“So I'm opening the investigation — not to a handful of researchers, but to anyone willing to look closely. Together, we can find what one person alone could not. I hope you'll join me.”
