The "Boy in the Box" is the name given to an unidentified murder victim, approximately 4 to 6 years old, whose naked, battered body was found in a cardboard box in the Fox Chase section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on February 25, 1957.
The Crime
The body was found discarded in a cardboard box that once contained a baby's bassinet from J.C. Penney. The body was found wrapped in a blanket, and was discovered by a young man who claimed that he was examining muskrat traps, but was later revealed to be in the habit of spying on the young women who lived at the nearby Catholic home for wayward girls.
