| 0:00.0 | This week, we're releasing a remastered version of our episode covering the cases of |
| 0:05.5 | Denisto and Christmas Sto, as well as updates on both cases. Both unidentified |
| 0:10.9 | decedents were young children found in Georgia. It was their approximate ages and their |
| 0:16.0 | circumstances that struck a chord with our listeners. Of all our cases, Denist and Christmas Sto |
| 0:23.0 | are the two we hear about the most, from listeners who want to know if either case has seen any |
| 0:28.6 | movement. In this episode, originally released in 2019, you'll hear why listeners were so moved |
| 0:35.5 | by the story of a toddler found in the rural woods of Weir County in 1988 near Christmas time |
| 0:42.7 | and a pre-adolescent boy discovered into Cab County in a cemetery in 1999. But first, we want to |
| 0:50.6 | provide updates on both cases. We contacted Special Agent in Charge Mark Pro of the GBI's region |

| 1:21.0 | and garnered thousands of comments and shares. We can only hope that someone somewhere |
| 1:27.3 | sees it and recognizes her. As for Dennis Sto, huge news has come in his case. When we contacted the |
| 1:36.0 | DeCab Medical Examiner's office back in May to inquire for updates for this episode, we were sent |
| 1:42.3 | to Director Patrick Bailey. Via email exchange, Director Bailey let us know that Dennis's DNA was |
| 1:49.0 | being processed at what he described as the FBI's lab and that an identification was imminent. |
| 1:56.4 | He couldn't give us a precise date of that information's release at that time, but on July 13, |
| 2:03.2 | 2022, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children released the following information. |
| 2:10.3 | The child formerly known as Dennis Sto found deceased in 1999 was six-year-old William Dishon Hamilton |
| 2:19.1 | of Charlotte, North Carolina. William's case was not solved through genetic genealogy, |
