On March 8th, 1921, the remains of a young boy were found floating in a pond near the O’Laughlin Stone Company’s Waukesha quarry.
The boy was dressed in a gray sweater, black stockings, a blouse, patent leather shoes, and Munsing undergarments. The quality clothing and fancifully dressed suggested the young man was from means.
The newspaper writers gave the unidentified boy the nickname, Little Lord Fauntleroy after the literary title which depicted a young well-dressed boy who was adopted into aristocracy.
Who was this little boy and how did he end up at the quarry?
Mike and Jeff are joined by Josh Hughes from Waukesha Ghost Walks to discuss the tragic tale of Little Lord Fauntleroy. Josh gives his insights on the case as they discuss the motives behind his killing and his possibly identity.
