True Identity: Cracking the Oldest Kidnapping Cold Case and Finding My Missing Twin

A man desperate to know his true identity struggles to solve the infamous kidnapping that nearly destroyed his family-and find his twin sister, who has been missing for more than fifty years.

When he was ten years old, Paul Fronczak was snooping around for Christmas presents in a crawl space in his family’s Chicago home. There, he found hundreds of old newspaper clippings about the kidnapping of a one-day-old infant in a hospital in 1964. He also learned that, two years later, the boy was found and returned to his family-and that the boy was him.

Nearly fifty years later, Paul, acting on long-held suspicions, took a DNA test that proved he was not the kidnapped boy. In an instant, he found himself at the center of two half-century-old mysteries-who was he, and where was the real Paul?

True Identity is about three separate major investigations-the hunt for the real Paul Fronczak; the search for the author’s missing twin sister Jill; and finally, the investigation into his true identity, his heart and soul and the demons inside him-inherited and created-that still need to be confronted.
