Description
When Paul Joseph Fronczak was 10 years old, he discovered a family secret: In 1964, when Paul was just one day old, he was kidnapped from the Chicago hospital where he’d been born. Paul’s abduction led to the largest manhunt Chicago had ever seen. One year later, an abandoned child was found outside a New Jersey department store and ultimately identified as “Baby Fronczak”. Paul was reunited with his parents and soon had a baby brother.  Then, In 2012, Paul took a DNA test and made a shocking discovery. He was not the real Paul Fronczak, and the story he’d been told about his identity was wrong. In an instant, he became what is known as an "unidentified living person." Over the past decade, Paul has been digging for answers, seeking his true identity, and connecting the dots to find the whole truth.  Links: fronczakfiles.com facebook.com/WhoIsPaulFronczak? instagram.com/fronczakfiles The Foundling: The True Story of a Kidnapping, a Family Secret, and My Search for the Real Me  True Identity: Cracking the Oldest Kidnapping Cold Case and Finding My Missing Twin
