A proposito di questo titolo

Mysteries, DNA, and the Search for Who We Really Are.


The Fronczak Files is a gripping podcast that delves deep into the investigation of the abduction of Paul Fronczak, the abandonment of Jack Rosenthal, and the disappearance of Jack’s twin sister Jill. This true crime podcast takes you on a rollercoaster ride through Paul’s experiences, searching for his family and uncovering new mysteries along the way. In April 1964, a woman disguised as a nurse walked into a Chicago hospital room and took a one-day-old infant from the arms of a young mother named Dora Fronczak. That day, Chicago police kicked off the biggest manhunt in the city's history in an effort to find the kidnapped "Baby Fronczak." Weeks passed without any sign of the kidnapper or the infant. Two years after the kidnapping, the case went cold… Co-hosted by Paul Jack Fronczak and Tracey Hastings, Season 1 pulls you into the decades-long search for answers, identity, and justice. No theories. No holding back. Just the raw, unfiltered truth - told straight from the source.

    Secrets. Lies. The making of monsters.

    In this Season 3 premiere, The Fronczak Files takes you back to the beginning. While many know about the 1964 kidnapping of Paul Joseph Fronczak and Jack’s abandonment in Newark, few understand the full scope of Jack’s genetic beginnings, and what they reveal.

    For the first time, we will walk through Jack’s full family tree, starting with his immediate Rosenthal family and tracing back generations to add context to the events of the 1960s that set his journey in motion.

    Where did Jack come from? What does his family tree really look like? And how did it all lead to the making of monsters? Tune in this season for new research, new leads, and a deeper exploration into Jack’s life.
