YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Minnesota authorities say within hours of “Baby Angel” being born, her body was put in a bag and dumped in the Mississippi River. After more than a decade, Winona County prosecutors say they’ve finally identified Baby Angel's biological mother as Jennifer Baechle. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber spoke with Barbara Rae Venter, the founder of Firebird Forensics Group, about the huge impact genealogical research combined with DNA testing can have on police investigations.
