Paul “Jack” Fronczak
Paul Joseph Fronczak (Jack Rosenthal) is an Author, Actor, Musician, Investigative storyteller, Advocate, and Founder, whose life has been shaped by powerful currents of identity, discovery, and purpose.
Raised believing he was Paul Fronczak—a baby kidnapped from a Chicago hospital in 1964—Jack learned through DNA testing decades later that he was not the missing child. That revelation redirected the course of his life, launching an extraordinary search that uncovered his true identity, helped identify the real Paul Fronczak, and revealed that Jack had been born a twin. His sister, Jill, remains missing.
His journey is chronicled in the CNN Films documentary The Lost Sons and his books The Foundling and True Identity. Today, Jack hosts the investigative podcast The Fronczak Files and is founder and president of The Jack & Jill Rosenthal Foundation for Missing and Unidentified Children, which brings investigative resources, genetic genealogy, advocacy, and renewed attention to cold missing-child cases.
Jack’s story is ultimately about what happens when the currents carrying our lives suddenly change direction—and how the search for your own truth can become a force for helping others find theirs.
