How DNA solved Indiana Oldest Cold Case After 44 Years

For 37 years, she had no name. They just called her "Baby Girl." In 1985, a set of remains was found in the hills of Elk Valley, Tennessee. No ID. No missing persons match. Just a small necklace made of plastic buttons, and a case that went cold before it ever really started. It would take nearly four decades, a DNA lab in Texas, and a genetic genealogy breakthrough to finally answer the question no one could crack: who was she? This is the story of Tracy Sue Walker — a 15-year-old girl who vanished from a mall in Lafayette, Indiana in the summer of 1978, and wasn't identified until August 30, 2022.
