The Fronczak Files

A corrupt jail. A crooked housing authority. A city where power and corruption went hand in hand. In this episode of The Fronczak Files, Jack and Tracey welcome Colleen Neuharth, Lead Historical Researcher, to take a closer look at the darker side of Atlantic City during the years surrounding the disappearance of the Rosenthal twins. What was happening behind the scenes in Atlantic City when Jack and Jill disappeared? Who were the people Marie and Gilbert worked with, and what connections did they have to those in positions of power? As the team digs deeper into the Rosenthals’ known employment, a troubling picture emerges: corruption, criminal activity, and individuals who may have had the connections and influence to help keep secrets buried. Could someone in Marie and Gilbert’s orbit have helped facilitate or conceal what happened to the twins? In this episode, Jack and Tracey: • Detail Marie and Gilbert Rosenthal’s known employment and connections in Atlantic City • Examine documented corruption and criminal activity involving local officials and institutions • Investigate individuals in the Rosenthals’ orbit who may have had the means or connections to assist them • Explore whether those relationships could offer new clues about Jack’s abandonment and Jill’s disappearance 💬 Share your reactions 🔔 Subscribe for new Season 5 episodes 📺 Watch full episodes on YouTube ⭐ Join as a Patreon member for extra bonus content 📲 Connect on: Instagram | TikTok | Facebook | Threads | thefronczakfiles.com | jjrf.org The Fronczak Files is the mouthpiece of The Jack and Jill Rosenthal Foundation for Missing and Unidentified Children.

A missing twin. A DNA test. A newfound hope. In this episode of The Fronczak Files, Jack and Tracey revisit the leads that have emerged throughout the investigation for Jill Lynn Rosenthal: women who, for one reason or another, wondered if they could be Jack’s missing twin sister. Who were the women who believed they might be Jill? What was it like for Jack to get to know them while waiting for DNA to provide an answer? And are there still leads that remain unresolved? Join Jack and Tracey as they share the hope behind each possibility, the disappointment when DNA failed to produce a match, and the latest lead in the ongoing pursuit to answer one question: Where is Jill Lynn Rosenthal? In this episode, Jack and Tracey: • Describe some of the women who have been investigated and ultimately ruled out as Jill • Discuss the emotional impact of forming connections while awaiting DNA results and the disappointment when those results were negative • Share more about the most recent lead in the investigation and where the search stands today 💬 Share your reactions 🔔 Subscribe for new Season 5 episodes 📺 Watch full episodes on YouTube ⭐ Join as a Patreon member for extra bonus content 📲 Connect on: Instagram | TikTok | Facebook | Threads | thefronczakfiles.com | jjrf.org The Fronczak Files is the mouthpiece of The Jack and Jill Rosenthal Foundation for Missing and Unidentified Children.

A buried mother. A need for DNA. A new challenge. In this episode of The Fronczak Files, Jack and Tracey continue the conversation from last week, taking a deeper look at the team’s decision to petition the state of New Jersey to exhume Marie Duncan Rosenthal. Why has Jack run out of options within the current legal system? Why have attorneys been unwilling to assist him in reclaiming his genetic identity? And what does it actually take to organize and carry out a court-ordered exhumation? Join Jack and Tracey as they explain the painstaking legal process required for Jack to finally shed the identity of Paul Joseph Fronczak and take another critical step forward in the search for his missing twin sister, Jill Rosenthal.

A hidden identity. A family of secrets. A fight to exhume. In this episode of The Fronczak Files, Jack and Tracey detail the journey that led them to an extraordinary decision: petitioning the state of New Jersey to exhume Marie Duncan Rosenthal. Why did the team determine that Marie’s exhumation may be necessary to move the search for Jill Rosenthal forward? Why aren’t consumer DNA test results enough when it comes to legally establishing identity? And could a set of unidentified human remains discovered in Mountainside, New Jersey, hold a connection to Jill? Join Jack and Tracey as they reveal why the team is seeking Marie’s exhumation and how the DNA buried with her could establish Jack’s genetic identity, provide a critical reference for Jill, and potentially unlock answers in a mystery that had endured for more than six decades. In this episode, Jack and Tracey: • Discuss why consumer DNA test results may not meet the evidentiary standards required in court • Explain why Marie’s exhumation could be critical to establishing Jack’s genetic identity and advancing the search for Jill • Examine a set of unidentified human remains discovered in 1971 in Mountainside, New Jersey, and why the case has drawn the team’s attention 💬 Share your reactions 🔔 Subscribe for new Season 5 episodes 📺 Watch full episodes on YouTube ⭐ Join as a Patreon member for extra bonus content 📲 Connect on: Instagram | TikTok | Facebook | Threads | thefronczakfiles.com | jjrf.org The Fronczak Files is the mouthpiece of The Jack and Jill Rosenthal Foundation for Missing and Unidentified Children.

A missing twin. A search for answers. A case number that wasn’t real. In this episode of The Fronczak Files, Jack and Tracey retrace the long and frustrating journey to officially open a missing persons case for Jill Lynn Rosenthal, a child whose disappearance had gone unreported for decades. When did Jack realize it was time to involve law enforcement? Where did he first turn? And how did his attempt to report Jill missing lead to an Atlantic City detective providing him with a case number that he would later discover didn’t exist? What should have been a straightforward step in the search for Jill became another obstacle in a case already filled with unanswered questions. Join Jack and Tracey as they revisit the efforts to have Jill officially recognized as missing, the roadblocks they encountered along the way, and why cooperation between law enforcement, families, researchers, and the public can be critical in bringing long-cold cases back into the light. In this episode, Jack and Tracey: • Detail the long journey to officially have Jill Lynn Rosenthal declared missing • Recount their troubling experience with the Atlantic City Police Department • Discuss the importance of collaboration between law enforcement and the public in missing-persons investigations • Offer a first look at the mission behind the Jack and Jill Rosenthal Foundation for Missing and Unidentified Children 💬 Share your reactions 🔔 Subscribe for new Season 5 episodes 📺 Watch full episodes on YouTube ⭐ Join as a Patreon member for extra bonus content 📲 Connect on: Instagram | TikTok | Facebook | Threads | thefronczakfiles.com | jjrf.org The Fronczak Files is the mouthpiece of The Jack and Jill Rosenthal Foundation for Missing and Unidentified Children.
