January 2, 1988 was a cold, bitter day and while many people were busy recuperating from celebrating the New Year, a horrible death had just occurred. While walking along a wooden path in the southern part of the Connecticut city of Meriden, a woman thought she saw a little doll wrapped in pink and white blankets nestled against a tree in an empty company parking lot. As the woman approached closer she made the grisly discovery that it was a dead 7 1/2 pound blue eyed, blonde haired boy. The newly born infant had died from the extreme cold in a few short hours.
The boy was given the name, David Paul by a pastor at a local church. The name means beloved little man. It’s been almost twenty years, since David Paul’s lifeless body was found. It is suspected that he was abandoned by a female (most likely his mother) and police are looking to find her.
With the popular usage of family ancestry websites, it is possible that David Paul’s DNA will lead to either one his parents. In 2018, the technology has helped crack many cold cases including that of a serial killer in California who is responsible for over a dozen murders and fifty rapes. Maybe 2019, will finally give us an answer as to who this child is and why he was left to die the way he did.
There is a 20,000 dollar reward being offered in this case. If you have any information about the death and abandonment of David Paul, please call the Meriden Police Department at 203-634-3784.

UPDATE: January 14, 2020, David Paul’s mother has been identified as Karen Kuzmak-Roche. She was 25 years old at the time and gave birth alone. After she had left her son in a parking lot, she had called the local fire department, to “tell them to look for something there”. Due to the statute of limitations, charges are not expected. Police are still trying to verify who David Paul’s father is but do not believe he had anything to do with the crime.

Francis Gallo Jr. lived with his wife and family in the blue collar town of Shelton, CT. On December 22, 1992, he went to check on a disturbance at his home and ended up being murdered by a possible burglar.
His first wife Paula Kalosky was found dead in 1999 from a gunshot wound to her head at the home she shared with her husband at 206 North Moodus Road in East Haddam. The Medical Examiner at the time declared the manner of death as a suicide. Her brother was never convinced that his sister would take her life. He filed a wrong death lawsuit against Robert and a different Medical Examiner would change Paula’s manner of death to Undetermined in 2004.
Despite rumors around town of her death being a murder, Robert Kalosky would marry again. His second wife 56 year old Sandra Kalosky would be found dead from blunt force trauma to her head and upper extremities on March 23rd of 2018 in the same house where Paula was found dead nearly two decades earlier. The Connecticut State Police have not named Robert as an official suspect.
