JCSO searches for answers in Angel Baby Doe case
JCSO searches for answers in Angel Baby Doe case
  • By Matt Smith/msmith@trcle.com

Sunday would have been her 17th birthday and yet her identity remains unknown having died on the side of a road when she was just several hours old.

“We’re determined to continue pursuing the case,” retired Johnson County Sheriff’s Office Detective Steve Shaw said. “That baby girl deserves a name at the very least.”

For now, a headstone marked Angel Baby Doe in Cleburne’s Rosehill Cemetery marks her final resting place.

On a 60 degree morning Nov. 18, 2001, JCSO deputies and detectives responded to the 400 block of South Briaroaks Road in Burleson where they found a newly born baby girl loosely wrapped in a Winnie the Pooh jacket.

A man walking to a nearby store who was picking cans up along the way spotted the baby and called police, Shaw said.

JCSO officers at that time determined that the baby was probably born outside of a hospital and abandoned by the side of the road.

Unfortunately, the baby succumbed to the elements.

Former Sheriff Bob Alford named the girl Angel Baby Doe.

Rosser Funeral Home donated a casket and the city of Cleburne’s Cemetery Department provided funding for the baby’s burial, according to a 2010 Times-Review article by former reporter Pete Kendall.

Alford, in 2010, said he considers the case a homicide.

Several tips and possible leads throughout the years since failed to pan out.

“A number of people came forward with information and several offered DNA samples but they all proved negative,” Shaw said. “But we continue to work possible leads.”

JCSO officials are hoping that a newly released post mortem artistic rendering will generate new leads.

The rendering came about after Shaw presented the case to the Sheriff’s Association Cold Case Team in Austin recently, a team consisting of law enforcement officials, attorneys, doctors and other officials.”

“After a case is presented people go around the room with suggestions and possible approaches,” Shaw said. “Someone suggested a progressive sketch of what the baby might look like today but Suzanne Birdwell, one of the artists in the group, said that wouldn’t work because the baby was too young and you’d need more to go on than that.
“The better approach she said, and what she helped us with was the post mortem rendering of the little girl, which we’ve distributed to the media and the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Unidentified Persons Clearinghouse website and other outlets in hopes that someone will have information on who this little girl is.”

JCSO Captain Danny Rogers said he and others remain determined to pursue the case.

“This case has been around 17 years without closure,” Rogers said. “Any death impacts the first responders involved, especially when that death is a child. We have been reaching out to a host of other investigators and specialists in an attempt to identify those who are involved. We only wish the baby knew how much we all really care.”

Shaw, who was returning from working a fire case that morning, still recalls that day and hearing the call go out over dispatch. When the deputy who responded requested investigators Shaw, who was several minutes away, drove to the scene and assisted with the crime scene.

Detectives, Shaw said, have to remain focused especially in light of tragic circumstances to ensure their best efforts toward discerning facts and solving the case.

“Still, situations like this can’t help but work on your mind some,” Shaw said. “Especially later after the fact and especially when you’re dealing with an unsolved case and looking for answers.”

JCSO Deputy Aaron Pitts encouraged anyone with information on Angel Baby Doe to come forward.

“For 17 years JCSO has been working to bring closure to her death and finally give this little girl a name,” Pitts said.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Detective Kniffen at 817-556-6058 or Johnson County Crime Stoppers at 800-794-8477.

“The loss of a young life is the greatest tragedy we will ever know only made worse when the victim is denied justice,” Sheriff Adam King said. “Our deputies and the Cold Case Squad have never forgotten this child and they want know what happened and why. They are this child’s adoptive family and they want closure.”
 
Johnson County cold case: Newborn baby found dead in 2001 | wfaa.com

Detectives are still searching for the mother of Angel Baby Doe, who was found dead on the side of the road in 2001.

Detective Steve Shaw of the Johnson County Sheriff's Department can't forget this case.

“We have a hit on who the mother is and the mother’s DNA,” said Shaw.

“We’ve interviewed a lot of people. We’ve got DNA and swabs off of numerous people,” said Shaw.

Angel Baby Doe would be 20 years old now. She’s buried at the Rose Hill Cemetery.

“That baby deserves a name on her memorial. Not Angel Baby Doe,” said Shaw.

Authorities are now asking the public for help to bring justice for Baby Doe.

After 23 years, Angel Baby Doe (2001) is now Identified

Johnson County Sheriff's Office Partners with Othram to Identify "Angel Baby"
dnasolves.com dnasolves.com
''In November 2001, the remains of an unidentified newborn were discovered in Johnson County, Texas between the towns of Alvarado and Burleson. Johnson County is located south of Fort Worth. A local resident was picking up cans on the side of Briar Oaks Road, when he found the lifeless infant wrapped in a jacket with their umbilical cord still attached. The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to the scene and it was determined that the newborn child was a female. The child was born alive, likely outside of a medical facility, and had only recently died. Without any clues to the infant's identity, she became known as "Angel Baby Doe".

''Using this new information, a follow-up investigation was conducted leading investigators to potential relatives of the infant. This investigation led to the positive identification of the infant's mother, Shelby Stotts, who has been indicted on multiple charges in connection to the death of Baby Angel Doe. The Texas Office of the Attorney General’s Missing Persons and Cold Case Unit secured an indictment against Stotts second-degree manslaughter.''

This was a unique case in that in addition to building a profile and doing the forensic genetic genealogy work, we had to fund the case as well. Special thanks to DNASolves & Websleuths folks that made the funding possible.
