DNA Confirmed Wrong Boy Returned following 1964 Abduction

The FBI reopened an alleged 'closed case' on Thursday after DNA results showed no match between the boy who was returned from a 1964 abduction and his parents, according to the Associated Press

Paul Fronczak, 49 who was abducted from a Chicago hospital in 1964 is not his parent's real child. This was revealed after he decided to undergo DNA testing earlier this year to appease the questions he's had all his life.

In a recent interview, Paul confessed that his curiosity was triggered by the fact that he did not resemble his parent's physical attributes. His parents, Chester and Dora Franczak were both supportive with his decision.

Paul Fronczak who currently resides in Henderson, Nevada already has his own family. After finding out about the results of the DNA test, he wrote his parents a letter informing them of the truth.

Fronczak said in a interview that he is positive that the real 'Paul Fronczak' is still alive and he would like to meet with him. He is also hopeful that he can still meet his real parents and know what his real nationality is, among many other things.

John Hyde, spokeswoman for the FBI office in Chicago, said they agreed to reopen the case after they reviewed the original file.

On April 1964, a baby was abducted from Michael Reese Hospital. More than a year after searching for the baby boy, officers found an abandoned child that resembled the Fronczak's baby.

The Associated Press also tried to call Paul's parents but Dora Fronczak declined to comment on the issue.

 In June, Dora Fronczak told the Sun-Times that she and her husband went through this search many years ago and they don't want to go through it again.

The search for Paul's real identity will take a long time, John Hyde said. But Paul is positive it will happen.
