Trigger warning – discussions about child abuse and death of children

While the “Boy in the Box” may be the most infamous cold case from Philadelphia, it’s certainly not the only one and tragically, it’s not the only one about children.

This is the story of the “Girl in the Trunk” and the “Boy in the Bag” – children who actually had names – Aliyah Davis and Jerell Willis – but went unidentified for a period of time after their deaths, known only for the way they were found. They spent years without names, without families, without the protection they deserved but didn’t receive. Aliyah and Jerell were on the radar of human service organizations before their deaths, yet no one took action.
