INFAMOUS: The Paul Fronczak Story
Jack Rosenthal spent his life believing he was Paul Fronczak, a little boy kidnapped from a Chicago hospital in 1964 when he was just one day old. But a single DNA test in 2012 revealed that not only is he not the kidnapped baby, he has a twin sister, Jill, whose fate remains unknown. Jack learns that his true story is one of potential abuse, neglect, and an apparent attempt to cover it all up. And that fateful test left him with two questions: Where is Jill? And who is the real Paul Fronczak?

MURDERED: Mary Yoder
In the summer of 2015, Mary Yoder, a healthy 60-year-old chiropractor, went to work as usual. Later that day, she began feeling sick. Within two days, she was dead. At first, her sudden decline seemed like a medical mystery. But investigators soon uncovered evidence of poisoning, launching a murder investigation that divided her family and the community.
MURDERED: Helen Sebastian
In February 1983, 52-year-old Helen Sebastian puts a roast in the oven and walks out the door, and that’s the last time anyone in her family ever sees her.
MURDERED: Joan Webster & Marie Iannuzzi
In 1981, a Harvard graduate student vanished after stepping out of Logan Airport the night after Thanksgiving. As investigators searched for answers, they focused on a suspect connected to another murder – a woman who was killed just two years earlier. He was convicted in one case and widely believed responsible for the other. But after reviewing thousands of pages of records, we found gaps that raise difficult questions: Was the wrong man blamed? And is the real killer still out there?
