In 1999, the remains of a young boy, probably no older than five or six, were found in a cemetery in DeKalb County Georgia - just outside of Atlanta.  The remains were compelling - and heartbreaking.  The boy had obviously been well taken car of - obviously loved.  The attire was impeccable - his clothing was new, clean and not inexpensive.  He had clearly been dressed by a caring parent - probably his mother.  His boots were a special type found only in the Atlanta area at the time.  So one would think the police had a lot to go on.  But no.  Not only has it been impossible over the past nearly 21 years to determine the identity of this beautiful child - named "Dennis Doe" by the police because they could not be so cold as to identify him as simply another John Doe - there was absolutely no evidence within the remains to indicate how he died.  Was he murdered and left at the cemetery by the killer?  Did he get sick and die suddenly, leaving his parents panicked?  Had he been kidnapped?  No one knows.  Because - unbelievably - with the exception of a couple of leads that have led police into complete dead-ends,no one has come forward to even suggest who Dennis Doe really is.  Listen in as Melissa details the evidence that exists, the strange and frustrating tips that have gone nowhere - and the hope that exists in the simple knowledge that someone - somewhere - knows who this boy is and has the key that will unlock his story.  If you know anything about this case, or even think you might, we urge you to call the DeKalb County Coroner's Office at (404) 244-2600.
