Appalachian Unsolved: The Girl In The Woods
ELK VALLEY, Tenn. — "Her resting place was so remote, the person who dumped her body had to have used a four-wheel drive to get to the scene.
So remote that the nearest human being who could have helped her lived far down the Campbell County mountain.
At the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, they call the unidentified victim from 1985 “Baby Girl,” because they know so little about her. And they always want to remember this: They’re dealing with a dead child.
“To think about a kid going through something so horrible at such a young age,” said TBI Special Agent Brandon Elkins, the father of three children himself. “Innocence changes our perspective on cases. All homicides are bad, but when you have a child who doesn't deserve to murdered and discarded in this fashion, it changes everything about it."
