DNA from soda bottle links Massachusetts woman to 1985 death of 'Baby Boy Doe'

A newborn infant was allegedly abandoned and left to die in freezing woods in 1985, discovered naked with umbilical cord still attached.

Forty-one years after two hunters discovered a newborn left to die in the winter woods of Mansfield, Massachusetts, modern forensic genealogy has drawn a name from the silence surrounding his death. Dianne Curry Peck, who was seventeen at the time, now faces a murder charge — her identity surfaced not through confession or witness, but through DNA lifted from a soda bottle she discarded decades later. The case is a quiet testament to how science, patience, and the willingness to reopen forgotten files can restore identity to those history has buried without one.
