    Jill Rosenthal Part 3

    Over the past two episodes, we followed a story that almost refuses to be believed: a newborn taken from Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago, a toddler found abandoned outside a department store in Newark, and a man raised as Paul Fronczak who later learned through DNA that he was not the baby everyone believed had been returned. After decades of questions, genetic genealogy finally gave him the name he had been born with: Jack Thomas Rosenthal. But that answer opened another mystery, because Jack had not been born alone. Fourteen minutes before him, a baby girl entered the world too. Her name was Jill Lynne Rosenthal. And unlike Jack, Jill was not found abandoned in Newark. She was not placed into foster care under another name. She did not grow up inside someone else’s story. She simply disappeared—without headlines, without a public search, without a childhood photograph, and without the world even knowing it should be looking for her. Today, in the final episode of our coverage, we turn fully toward Jill: a little girl who was born, a little girl who had a name, and a little girl whose disappearance was hidden so thoroughly that silence nearly became the final word. This is the final episode in our three-part coverage of the case of Jill Rosenthal. I want to again thank Paul Fronczak and Tracy Hastings again for trusting us with this story and for taking the time to speak with me. Please listen to their podcast, The Fronczak Files, because they are telling this story from the inside—not just as a mystery, but as a lived experience involving identity, family, loss, silence, and the ongoing search for answers.

    Jill Rosenthal Part 1

    What if the story you were told about who you are was only part of the truth? In Part 1 of our coverage of the Jill Rosenthal case, we begin not with Jill, but with a little boy named Paul Joseph Fronczak—a child connected to one of the most shocking hospital kidnappings in American history. In 1964, a newborn was taken from Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago by a woman dressed as a nurse. Nearly two years later, a young boy was found abandoned outside a store in Newark, New Jersey. Was he the missing baby everyone had been searching for? Or had one mystery simply been mistaken for another? This episode is about identity, family secrets, impossible choices, and the kind of truth that waits for decades before cracking everything open. And trust me—this is only the beginning. Listen now to Part 1 of our coverage of the case of Jill Rosenthal.
