The Case of the Bethlehem John Doe


Listen Later

On April 3, 1981, a farmer found a body in a field in Delmar, New York. Forensics at the time determined it was a male, but his identity remained a mystery to investigators. 

Four decades later, it became the Capital Region’s first ever unidentified persons case solved using familial DNA and genetic genealogy. On this episode of "The Eagle," Pete DeMola and Jessica Marshall take a deep dive into a case full of twists and turns, mysteries and technology, and the quest to find a lost soul.
