80-year mystery of blackberry bush baby is solved using DNA: Woman abandoned at nine-months old in 1937 learns the identity of her father after scientists test DNA on the back of a stamp


A woman who was abandoned in a blackberry bush as a baby has finally discovered the identity of her father after DNA tests were carried out on a stamp.

Anthea Ring, now 81, was discovered by a family who heard her crying on the South Downs in Sussex on August 26, 1937.

She was wearing a pink dress, her hands were tied and she was covered in scratches and insect bites. She was just nine months old.
