CCC Special: SOLVED! The Case of Baby Jonathan Foundling Part 3

In this special update of Classic City Crime, host Cameron Jay explores how the case of an infant baby boy was solved. The infant, named Jonathan Foundling by investigators, was discovered in the basement bathroom of the Oglethorpe House Dormitory at the University of Georgia just over 27 years ago. In recent weeks, investigators at the University of Georgia Police Department informed the community that the baby's mother had been identified through Genealogical DNA testing provided by Othram Inc. The mother's name? Katherine Grant. Grant was a student at the University of Georgia in 1995 and 1996, before transferring to another school. She would return to the University of Georgia after graduation, working for the College of Veterinary Medicine until her death by suicide in 2004.

In this first follow up episode, Cameron Jay sits down with Tracy Grant- the brother of Katherine Grant and the now-identified uncle of Jonathan Foundling to discuss the startling reality that is now his: not only did he have a nephew he knew nothing about, but police now believe his sister to be responsible for the baby's death. We also talk with a former colleague of Katherine's-- did she know anything was wrong?
