Charges have been filed in a case that began nearly four decades ago at a monastery in southern Indiana. In 1987, an infant was found at the Monastery Immaculate Conception in Ferdinand. For years, the child was known only as “Baby Doe.”
This week, Dubois County Prosecutor Beth Schroeder confirmed investigators have identified the infant through advances in DNA technology. The child’s biological mother now faces charges, though her name has not been released.
Authorities say she was a minor at the time and that the pregnancy was unintended. Schroeder noted that the charges acknowledge the severity of the situation and the challenges confronting a minor at the time.
For nearly forty years, the child had no confirmed identity. Now investigators know who the baby was even if the name has not yet been shared publicly.

It has now been 30 years since the disappearance of 23-year-old Heather Teague from Newburgh Beach along the Ohio River in Henderson County, Kentucky. A man across the river in Indiana, looking through a telescope, reported seeing someone step out of the woods and drag her away.
Despite searches and a long investigation, Heather has never been found. Her case has remained open for three decades, with her mother, Sarah, pressing for answers and ensuring her daughter’s name is never forgotten. That persistence has definitely kept the case moving. In February 2025, items of Heather’s clothing were sent to a forensic lab in Virginia for advanced DNA testing, and in August last month, investigators exhumed the body of longtime suspect Marty Dill to obtain a DNA profile for comparison.
Now, with new forensic tools being applied in ways that were impossible in the 1990's, each new round of testing brings the possibility of long-awaited answers for Heather’s family and the surrounding community.

A new documentary dropping next month takes a look at the strange story of Quinn Gray, a 37-year-old mother from Ponte Vedra, Florida, whose reported disappearance over Labor Day weekend in 2009 quickly became a major news story across Northeast Florida.
Gray was found a few days later in a parking lot in Orange Park on September 7th, 2009. She initially told authorities she had been taken from her home days earlier in connection to a financial dispute involving her husband, Reid Gray.
Within a week, a 25-year-old Jacksonville auto shop owner, Jasmin Osmanovic, was charged. He later claimed Gray had helped plan the disappearance herself. Federal investigators would eventually allege the two had been staying at a Jacksonville motel while search efforts were still underway.
Vanishing Act follows investigators as they piece together what happened and how the case unfolded. The show premieres March 11th on ID and HBO Max and I have to say I'm really looking forward to this one.
