Who is Sam Houston Baby Doe (2005)?

On May 4, 2005, the Spring semester was ending at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas... individuals were rummaging through a dumpster located at Sam Houston Village, an on-campus residence located at 1600 Sam Houston Avenue... when they pulled out a trash bag and found it contained the body of a deceased black female infant with the umbilical cord and placenta still attached. The infant’s cause of death was ruled inconclusive based on autopsy results. There were no signs of physical trauma or illness...

The SHSU University Police Department and the Texas Rangers have partnered with Othram Inc. and Identifinders International to generate leads that will help identify the infant.

A DNASolves fund has been established to cover the costs associated with this process. If anyone has information regarding this case and would like to assist the investigation, please contact the SHSU University Police Department at 936-294-1800 and ask to speak with Detective Brown.

Most states have a policy that if the mother did not want her infant, she can drop off the baby at a hospital, fire dept, etc with no questions asked. I do not understand why women are not using this resource.

"Baby Doe" found in dumpster 17 years ago close to being identified - ABC13 Houston
''THE WOODLANDS, Texas (KTRK) -- A newborn baby girl was found dead in a dumpster at Sam Houston State University 17 years ago. Now, investigators are reopening her case, thanks to technology invented by scientists at a Houston-area lab.

Founders at Othram, located in The Woodlands, claim they can identify anyone, when other approaches and DNA testing fails''

"Unless someone saw you commit a crime against a baby, you're not going to get caught-up until now," says Kristen Mittelman, Chief Business Developer at Othram.

Mittelman says when you put DNA evidence into their machine-like the blood sample from Baby Doe - out comes a DNA profile with hundreds of thousands of markers. Most DNA testing produces a profile with just 20 markers.
"And those markers will match certain relatives that are very distant," Mittelman explains. "I'm not talking about relatives that would come to Thanksgiving dinner. I'm talking about fourth cousins and third cousins."
