Late February, 1957, a young man, checking his muskrat traps in the woods off Susquehanna Road in Fox Chase, Philadelphia, found an old cardboard box. Upon further investigation, he found the body of a dead boy. He left the box and the body there and returned home, afraid the police would confiscate his traps.  A few days later, college student Frederic Benosis, was in the woods, spying on girls at the Good Shepherd School when he, too, came upon the box. Afraid to tell the police why he was in the woods, he chose to not report it, until the next day, February 26, 1957.
