Case 64: Peter Weinberger (Patreon)

The Weinberger family was emblematic of 1950s suburban America. Husband and wife Betty and Morris lived in a modest home in Westbury, New York, where they were raising their two-year-old son Lewis and their newborn baby, Peter. 

July 4, 1956, started just like any other day for the Weinberger’s. After feeding Peter his bottle, Betty put him down for a nap in his stroller. It was a warm summer’s day, so she parked the stroller on their front patio and then went inside. Just a few minutes later, Betty went to check on her son – but to her horror, Peter had vanished.
