'Known Only To God': Tragic cold case of Alisha Heinrich, a Baby Jane Doe who was Found Dead in a Mississippi river in 1982 and Unidentified for 38 Years until a DNA breakthrough, is examined in new podcast
After 38 years, she finally had a name again: Alisha Heinrich.
Since December 1982, investigators and the community couldn't forget the Baby Jane Doe found dead in Mississippi's Escatawpa River. They rallied around the unidentified child and pulled money together for a funeral as well as a headstone engraved with 'Known only to God.'
After the kidnapping and murder of their six-year-old son, Adam, John and Reve Walsh started the nonprofit in 1984 that is now called the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. (John Walsh hosted America's Most Wanted for over two decades.) According to reports, the center had been helping the Jackson County Sheriff's Department, and in 2014, one of their forensic artists created a picture, left, of what Baby Jane Doe might look like. Reno said that the toddler's case 'was well-known within the genetic genealogy community.' She told DailyMail.com that the picture 'tugged at your heart.' On the right is Alisha Heinrich
