Summary

Join me as I tell John the heartbreaking case of Baby Hope. When the body of a malnourished girl was found in a cooler off the Henry Hudson parkway in 1991 the homicide detectives of the 34th precinct work hard to identify her body and find her killer. It would take 22 years, but Baby Hope would eventually get her name back.

Trigger Warning: This case involves crimes against children
