Coffee and Cases Podcast

Jill Rosenthal Part 1

What if the story you were told about who you are was only part of the truth? In Part 1 of our coverage of the Jill Rosenthal case, we begin not with Jill, but with a little boy named Paul Joseph Fronczak—a child connected to one of the most shocking hospital kidnappings in American history. In 1964, a newborn was taken from Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago by a woman dressed as a nurse. Nearly two years later, a young boy was found abandoned outside a store in Newark, New Jersey. Was he the missing baby everyone had been searching for? Or had one mystery simply been mistaken for another? This episode is about identity, family secrets, impossible choices, and the kind of truth that waits for decades before cracking everything open. And trust me—this is only the beginning. Listen now to Part 1 of our coverage of the case of Jill Rosenthal.

Celine Cremer

In June of 2023, 31-year-old Belgian traveler Céline Cremer was nearing the end of her time in Tasmania when she set out for what should have been a manageable walk near Philosopher Falls, a rainforest trail in the island’s remote northwest. She never made it back to her car. For more than two years, Céline’s disappearance left behind more questions than answers. How does someone vanish so completely on a short trail? Why did early searches find nothing? What does the evidence tell us about her final movements? And while the strongest evidence may point in one direction, should we ever become so fixed on one theory that we stop considering other possibilities? This case is recent—so recent that some of the most important discoveries were made only weeks ago. In our case this week, we walk through the beauty, danger, timeline, search efforts, and unanswered questions in the case of Céline Cremer.
