In 1928, 4-year-old Melvin Horst left his home in Orrville, Ohio to show his friends the shiny red firetruck Santa had brought him. Then, he vanished in a case that captivated the country with twists and turns for more than a year. We talk to Melvin's surviving sister, Elgie, who is now 96 years old, and Orrville Sgt. Jaime McGreal, who has done some recent sleuthing on the ancient case.
