Poor little baby boy RIP

I wonder why the second father of the infant did not notify police that his son was missing, or did he? Had he done so, possibly the mother and boyfriend would have been prosecuted at that time.

Mom did it

I can’t imagine the life they led up until the day they died.

I'm just glad he didn't grow up to have kids of his own. Could you imagine how entitled they would act? No sympathy. It's not the skin color. It's the whole "attitude". Sorry, but not sorry.

I wish they could do this in Europe! We have several unidentified women and girls with no recorded birth, DNA doesn't give indication as to where they're from, and found with nearly 0 belonging and 0 trace evidence! Some of these women have been unidentified since 1955!

My sister is watching a show based on this ground breaking science.

Yea how did a news channel become so careless

@Top1-g5i August 8, 2025 - 3:44 pm

Killed in 1992, missing for 53 years? Am I missing something?

@AdverbsAndNouns August 8, 2025 - 3:44 pm

My sister was born in 1972

Vera took the secrets of what happened to her two sons with her to the garve. Probably James Hedgepeth got away with murder, the Mom avoided charges too because she is no alive.

Thank you detectives for not giving up on finding out who this little boy was. Poor little boys

Why does the headline say "1992" if he died in 1972? Please fix the headline.

@WillowEverlight August 8, 2025 - 3:44 pm

The title is WRONG. It's 1972 not 1992.

@melissaford717 August 8, 2025 - 3:44 pm

Wow!! I'm from Philadelphia and a few months back, there was a story about bodies exhumed at local cemeteries due to cold cases. I bet the mother was one of those people. RIP Carl and James 🌠

God bless these officers who had the incredible foresight in so many of these unsolved cases, to preserve the evidence.
RIP to these babies.
