About this listen

In today's episode of Forgotten True Crime, we delve into the heartbreaking case of Lonnie Fellick, a 7-year-old boy from Chicago who disappeared in October 1947. Lonnie, who was facing the possibility of being sent to an institutional home due to his family's eviction, made a fateful promise to his mother that he would run away if she sent him away.

Join us as we explore the twists and turns of this tragic case, the conflicting evidence, and the controversial decisions made by the justice system. We'll also discuss the lingering questions that haunt this case and the impact it had on the community.

Hosted by Madison and written by Trevor Shelby, this episode of Forgotten True Crime is a chilling reminder of the darkness that can lurk in the hearts of even the youngest among us and the impossible decisions our justice system must grapple with in the face of such tragedy.
