Summary

What happens when the truth you spent your whole life chasing opens the door to an even deeper mystery? In Part 2 of our coverage of Jill Rosenthal, we continue the unbelievable story of Paul Fronczak—the man who grew up believing he was the baby kidnapped from Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago, only to learn decades later that the truth was far more complicated. This episode follows Paul through DNA results, impossible discoveries, family secrets, and the kind of revelation that changes not only what you know about your past, but what you understand about your entire life. And just when it seems like one mystery may finally be solved, another name emerges. Another child. Another disappearance. Another question that refuses to stay buried.
