    💀Help solve this mystery!

    Twenty five years ago, a small cardboard box was found on the side of a road in Norcross, Georgia. It held the partial skeletal remains of two children.

    A note on the box read, “attention police, my bones were legally exhumed from South Georgia, please return them to their proper repose.”

    The Gwinnett County Medical Examiner analyzed the bones and determined them to belong to a baby around one year old and a teenager between 12-15 years old. Oddly, the two are not related to each other.

    The box also contained fragments of casket hardware. They were dated to somewhere between the 1900s and 1940s, which is consistent with the age of the bones. The children were likely buried sometime within that period.

    Unfortunately, they were unable to identify the children, so they’ve been kept at the ME’s office pending new information and technological advances.

    That day may soon be here! Gwinnett County ME has partnered with Othman Labs to perform extensive genetic genealogy tests on the remains and establish family trees. Hopefully they’ll be able to identify relatives and discover someone who will name and claim these poor children.

    Here’s where YOU come in.

    There is little funding for pursuing cold cases like these. Gwinnett County ME has resorted to crowdfunding in order to pay the private lab for their supplies & research.

    Are you able to contribute? Each child needs about $7500 raised to conduct the necessary investigations. Even a small amount donated gets them closer to being named & laid to rest.

    If you’re unable to contribute financially, will you at least help spread the word? SHARE with folks in the funeral profession, true crime aficionados, supporters of children’s causes, or anyone else you think might be touched by this case.

    Every body deserves a name.
    Every body deserves to rest in peace.
