In December of 2017, three people from the Knoxville, TN area went missing. Almost on the same day. They were, according to family members, recent acquaintances. This case has had little attention from local, let alone national media, but the circumstances are very mysterious. We were sent some information on this one from a blogger, and decided to do some digging due to the lack of reporting out there. This is the case we’re calling the Knoxville Missing Three.

“My homeschooling and discipline had good intentions. I’m sorry if I’ve done anything to cause them harm. I love my children and believe my children love me. ...I hope the very best for my children in the future.” These are the words spoken by David Turpin’s lawyer at his sentencing hearing. A man who, along with his wife Louise, held their 13 children captive and tortured them for years on end. The couple’s emotional and physical abuse of their own family makes for one of the most shocking cases in recent history, alongside the kidnapping of Jaycee Lee Dugard. The Turpin children, at the time of discovery, ranged from 2 to 29 years old. Their living conditions were inhumane. The list of neglect and abuses, almost endless. The beginning of the end for the couple came in January 2018, but how did things get to that point? This is the story of the Turpin family 13.

Illegal dumping, also known as fly tipping, is when someone leaves unwanted items in a site that is not intended for waste. Today's case begins in 1957, at one of these well known dump sites in Philadelphia. Somebody dumped a box, and inside, a small boy. This began a race to discover his identity, what happened to him, and to find his murderer. This is the case of ‘America’s Unknown Child’, the boy in the box.
