KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — Detectives investigating the 1989 death of a newborn in Kenosha County say they have targeted a person of interest in the homicide case.
In order to obtain DNA evidence, the remains of the boy, known as Baby John Doe, will be exhumed from a cemetery in the Town of Randall Thursday morning.
Trappers found the infant’s body beneath the Des Plaines River Bridge in the Town of Paris on Nov. 9, 1989. An autopsy determined the baby was born alive and his death was ruled a homicide.
The sheriff’s office says the case was reopened about a year ago when new information became available.
Kenosha County sheriff’s detectives, the Kenosha County Medical Examiner’s Office and representatives of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children will be present for the exhumation.
