The Curious Case of Kaspar Hauser

On May 28, 1828, a 16-year-old boy mysteriously appeared in Nuremberg, Bavaria. He had a letter in his hand and could only speak a few words. No one knew where he came from, who his parents were, or why he was there. Five years later, just as mysteriously as he appeared, he was found murdered. His tale made him one of the most talked-about celebrities in 19th century Europe. Learn more about the curious case of Kaspar Hauser on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
