Summary

Welcome to our first ever Case Update episode. In July of 2021, we covered the case of “The Boy in the Box” aka “America’s Unknown Child”. The identity of the boy who was abused, murdered, and dumped in a trash pile on the side of the road in Fox Chase, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in February of 1957 has finally been identified. In December of 2021, we also brought you the case of “Christmas Tree Jane Doe” aka “The Christmas Tree Lady” aka “Annandale Jane Doe”. In that story, the unidentified body of an elderly woman was found suffocated to death in the children’s section of a cemetery in Annandale, Virginia in 1996. She, too, has finally been identified. In this short case update episode, we briefly discuss the most recent news articles and press conferences for each case. We would love to hear from our listeners to see what their thoughts are on these two groundbreaking identifications solved through Forensic Genealogy.

0:00.0	Welcome back to Let's Get Haunted with your host, Matt Strong, and Ali.
0:19.3	Hey guys, if you're seeing this in your notifications right now, maybe you just logged into Spotify
0:25.3	or Apple Podcasts, and you're like, what the fuck?
0:28.2	That's Monday. Why is this in my feed? Don't they normally post on Wednesday? The answer is yes.
0:33.6	This is actually something new that we are trying out for the very first time. We are going
0:38.1	to release a case update today on two topics that we have covered in the past. This is probably
0:44.0	going to be about 15 minutes, and we've never done it before. So if you like it, go ahead
0:49.0	and let us know, and maybe we'll do it again in the future.

1:32.7	since it has been over a year for each of them, we're going to go ahead and provide you
1:37.2	with a really short refresher for each case starting with the boy in the box. If you want to watch
1:44.8	the press conference for this story, you can go into the show notes and I will have it linked
1:49.6	there. It is about 40 minutes long. I watched it a couple of days ago when it first came out.
1:55.1	And so just a refresher on the story. In February of 1957, two young men separately stumbled upon
2:01.6	the new dead body of a small boy estimated to be somewhere between three to five years old,
