Paul Joseph Fronczak
The kidnapping of Paul Joseph Fronczak in April 1964 made headlines. Kidnappings often do, and this one was particularly unusual. Paul was a newborn, and he was taken by a woman posing as a nurse at Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago, who told Dora Fronczak that a doctor needed to check the baby. Understandably trusting, Dora turned over the child.
Acting under the 1932 Lindbergh Law, the FBI entered the case, but the woman and the baby had vanished. There was no ransom demand or communication to the parents, Dora and Chester. From that point on, the story only grew stranger.
