Anyone watch Cold Case on Sunday nights?? (not to be confused with Cold Case files on A&E)...anyway...a few weeks ago they used the Boy in the Box mystery as their episode's plot and I was so happy b/c I thought it had been solved in real life b/c they solved it on the show. Then, to my suprise, the show stated at the end that it (the ending) had been fictionalized and with a little research I found it has indeed NOT been solved. Bummer. :(

Well, the show makes it very clear at the start of each episode that the following story is fictionalized. So even the slightest simliarities to actual cases are purely coincidental.

I watch Cold Case every Sunday night. At the end of each episode, they typically say to watch the A&E documentary Cold Case Files.
