Revisiting to let everyone know that the boy in the box has now been identified!

Joseph Augustus Zarelli is his name. It was released by Philadelphia PD. His name was identified through groundbreaking genealogical DNA evidence. They traced down the mother, had her children tested, and it was a match. They then found the father from the birth certificate, whose was written incorrectly (very common in this time). DNA tested father’s children, it was a match. DNA from Joseph was extracted in 2019 when the PD got approval to exhume Joseph to get DNA. This took over 2 years to properly process the DNA that had degraded. There are multiple theories, especially stemming from the terms used from the PD such as “birth mother/father” terms, hinting that he was “adopted” out. There was a woman by the name of “M” (later Martha) who had an eerie story that matched details uncannily. She was later dismissed for being mentally I’ll, but in her testimony, she said her mother was extremely abusive which could have contributed to her illnesses. The link from the birth parents to M’s mother through adoption are unknown which raises a lot of questions. Most are unsure of her story. There are a lot of questions and very little answers. This is what we know: His name is Joseph Augustus Zarelli. Born on January 13, 1953 and died in February, 1957. Rest in peace Joseph. May you be happy and healthy, wherever you are.

I went down a Reddit rabbit hole on this case last week. My money is on Martha’s statement. She said the boy was purchased to be abused, kept hidden in the home, and was beaten to death after vomiting his dinner of baked beans. The “mother” who purchased him slammed his head on the floor repeatedly for being sick, then bathed him when he became unresponsive. She then forced Martha to help her dispose of the body in the place he was found. When a passing male motorist stopped to see if he could help them at all, the “mother” forced Martha to stand in front of the license plate visible to the Good Samaritan. Apparently, 3 details only known to the police were mentioned in Martha’s statement - 1) baked beans were found in the child’s stomach 2) his fingers were pruned from being in water (the bath) 3) there was a man that came forward and said he saw a woman and a girl unloading a box soon before the child’s body was found. The police refused to rely on this woman’s statement, sadly, because of her laundry list of mental illnesses. A tragedy in itself because perhaps, if she were subjected to the abuse she claimed she and this boy in the box were, the abuse itself could be the catalyst for a lot of the psychological turmoil she suffered from, and ultimately, made the cops dismiss her despite the damning evidence she came forward with.
