I have followed this story for years, and usually do a big deep dive into it about once a year or so—legitimately did that about a week ago, and thought “with all the DNA tracing that can happen now, they should be able to find a familial match to him at least…”

I’m glad that America’s unknown child will finally get his name back.

This was still huge when I was a little kid in Northeast Philadelphia in the 60's.

Wow. This is incredible.

I'm so glad he will finally get his name back and hopefully they're one step closer to finding who was involved in his death.

“Sources told NBC10 the most recent DNA sample finally led investigators to the child's identity. The sources say the DNA traced the child to a prominent family in Delaware County, Pennsylvania.

This has always been a heartbreaking, albeit fascinating, story. That NBC10 blurb only makes it all the more interesting.

His marker is right around the corner from my MIL. This story is still difficult after all these years.
