Kidnapped by a FAKE nurse then returned to the WRONG family! The Strange Case of Paul Fronczak

It’s 1964 and a baby is stolen, straight from his mothers arms. 15 months later, a toddler is found and returned to his mother, but was this the WRONG baby? Instead of a happy ending, the returned child only leads to the discovery of 2 more missing children and loads of unanswered questions.
