On February 26, 1957, police officers Elmer Palmer and Samuel Weinstein responded to the then-rural Susquehanna Road to investigate a report of a body found in a box. There they discovered the naked, battered body of a small boy believed to be 4 to 6 years old. This unknown child became known as the "Boy in a Box." He has never been identified, and his case remains open. He is now called "America's Unknown Child."
