Doe ID Carl Bryant

Episode 159 Doe ID Carl Bryant Warning: this episode explicitly addresses child abuse and murder. In 1972, the brutally beaten body of a young child was found in a shallow creek in Fairfax County, VA.  Little John Lorton Doe was unidentified and unclaimed, and was buried in a local cemetery by a church group.  Investigators over the decades never forgot the little boy, and when cold case detective Melissa Wallace took on the case, she used mere iotas of rootless hairs, cutting edge DNA technology, and IGG to identify him as four year old Carl Matthew Bryant.  But the story of Carl Bryant, killed at the hands of an abuser, became even more shocking when it was revealed that he was not the only one.    This episode of DNA ID is sponsored by Uncommon Goods; Unique and unusual gifts.
