LatestIn 1996, a young man was burned alive in Atlanta. Who was he? Investigators team up with the DNA Doe Project to identify him and find his family.
There are 50,000 bodies lying unnamed and unmourned across America with no way of identifying them, until now. This powerful new series follows the DNA Doe Project - a leading organization in genetic investigation and identification - as they partner with law enforcement agencies to solve the coldest of cases, name these unidentified bodies, and bring resolution to families across the country.
