Old Timey Crimey #10: The Boy in the Box

We don't know his name, but his legacy has endured for decades. This week, Scott and Kristy look at the tragic case of the boy in the box, also known as America's Unknown Child. Along the way, we'll talk about our feelings regarding psychics, Honore de Balzac, and the father of criminology, Eugene Vidocq--a character you're sure to see in later episodes. 

Also, Kristy gets douchey with French pronunciation, and if you have feelings about that, tell us in a 5-star review on iTunes. Don't forget to rate and review on  follow us here on Podbean, and hit us up on our FB group or Twitter.
