A Decade Old Mystery - Crime Documentary
On the 50th anniversary of an unsolved mystery that continues to draw attention and leads from around the world, Paul Fronczak is still hoping to uncover his true identity and find the baby that was stolen a half century ago from the woman he believed was his biological mother.
"I feel super hopeful that we're going to solve both these mysteries this year," Fronczak told ABC News.
Fifty years ago Sunday, baby Paul Fronczak was stolen from his mother's arms in a Chicago hospital the day after his birth. A woman posing as a nurse came into Dora Fronczak's room and claimed the doctor wanted to see the baby. The abduction launched a nationwide search for the child and his kidnapper. Just over a year later, a toddler of the right age was discovered abandoned in Newark, N.J. and the FBI believed they had closed the case, at least as far as the missing baby went. The parents, Dora and Chester Fronczak, happily took the child in, believing it was theirs, and raised him as their own.
But last year, the then-49-year-old man raised as Paul Fronczak took a DNA test to find that he was not, in fact, the Fronczak's biological child. Since then, he's been on a mission to solve two mysteries in his life: Who he is and what happened to the real Paul Fronczak?

His search has generated such widespread attention that the FBI reopened the cold case and assigned a dedicated task force to the investigation. The FBI won't go into details about their findings, but say the investigation is ongoing.
"We continue to pursue leads as information comes to us, and once again, we appreciate the publicity and any new leads it might generate," said Joan Hyde, spokeswoman for the Chicago FBI office.
"I really feel someone knows something and it's about time they spilled their guts," Paul Fronczak said.
