About this listen

Hidden Abuse • Firsthand Testimony • 1960s Cold Case • Mob Ties • Twin Disappearance

A knock on the door. A mother’s strange request. A terrified pair of twins hidden upstairs.


In this haunting episode of The Fronczak Files, Paul and Tracy speak with Susan Woolard, a babysitter who, in 1965, was pulled into a disturbing household secret in Pitney Village, New Jersey. Her memory is vivid. Her guilt has never left. What she reveals may be the last eyewitness account of Jack and Jill together.


Could this teenage girl have unknowingly witnessed the early signs of a tragedy? Was fear—and the shadow of the Mob...what kept her silent?


🎧 This episode explores:

• Susan’s firsthand account of the abuse and neglect she witnessed

• What made her defy orders and check on the hidden babies upstairs

• Why neighbors still won’t talk, nearly 60 years later

• The chilling detail about Jill’s condition and Jack’s black eye

• How this one act of courage may have changed the investigation forever


If you’re drawn to:

• First-person true crime narratives

• Cold cases with long-silenced witnesses

• Stories shaped by guilt, courage, and survival

• The power of speaking out—even decades later

…this episode will stay with you.


What if the person who saw it all… never forgot?
