Police reveal the identity of the child found dead inside a box 65 years ago in

Philadelphia police have revealed the identity of a 4-year-old child found dead inside a box 35 years ago. Police have identified 4-year-old Joseph Augustus Zarelli, the victim of what police say is one of the city's oldest unsolved murders.

"The identification, made through DNA analysis, represents investigators' biggest breakthrough in the case in decades, which dates back to late February 1957, when the child was discovered wrapped in a blanket inside a cardboard box, showed evidence "of the past," said Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw.


The case attracted "tremendous" public interest, Outlaw told reporters. But no one ever came forward to claim Joseph as their child, and his identity remained a mystery despite numerous attempts to identify him over the years.

That changed this week when police announced they had successfully identified the child through detective work and the help of genetic genealogists, an area that in recent years has led to numerous breakthroughs in cases spanning many years.

"For sixty-five years, the story of America's Unknown Child has haunted this community, the Philadelphia Police Department, our nation and the world," said Outlaw, who opened Thursday's news conference by praising generations of police officers. who worked on this issue, some of whom are no longer alive.

Officials hope the techniques used to identify Joseph after so many years will help them in other cases.
