In this episode, we dive into one of the most unusual and stories we've come across —the case of little Alice Minto. In 1909 San Francisco, a young Italian American girl was found living in a Chinatown basement, speaking only Chinese, and clinging to a half-starved puppy. Newspapers called her a kidnapped child, a “white girl held captive,” but the truth was far more complicated.Was she stolen, sold, adopted, or abandoned? Through court records, adoption scandals, and public outcry, we follow Alice’s tangled journey through the foster care system, social prejudice, and cultural misunderstanding. Join us as we explore the strange case of Alice Minto.
