503: The Body in the Sand (from "Naming the Dead")

The body of an unidentified young woman was found in the Arizona desert in August 1992. Over thirty years later, the incredible efforts of the forensic genealogists at the DNA Doe Project would identify her as Melody Harrison. But how they pieced together her story traces a puzzle that brought together long-lost relatives and shed light on a little known adoption program from post-WWII Germany.

Learn more about the DNA Doe Project's work on this case here, and for more information on Mabel Grammer's work, check out this article.
