Velina Jeter Identified After 45 Years

After nearly 50 years, the haunting mystery of “Baby Angel” — a toddler found dead in a Cincinnati field — has been solved. Identified as Velina Jeter, a 19-month-old from Columbus who died in 1979 from blunt-force trauma, her identity was unlocked through groundbreaking genetic genealogy. Though her parents, now deceased, are not yet suspected, investigators still grapple with how she ended up in Cincinnati, who had custody, and who ultimately killed her. With Velina’s identity confirmed, the hunt for answers continues — and for anyone who might have known her or her family in the late 70s.
