He Looked Like Any Other Child — But His Future Shocked the World

In May 1960, a baby boy was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to a young chemistry student and a machine instructor. His parents greeted him with love and anticipation, describing him as a lively, curious child filled with imagination and joy during his early years.

However, around the age of four, following a minor surgery, his personality began to shift dramatically. The cheerful child grew withdrawn and quiet, showing signs of detachment from those around him. Family life offered little sense of security—his father traveled often for work while his mother struggled with her own health challenges.
