GEORGIA – A 5-year-old girl who was found buried in concrete and named “Baby Jane Doe” has been identified after 35 years and police have announced the arrests of her mother and mother’s boyfriend Monday.
The little girl has now been identified as Kenyatta “Keke” Odom, whose body was found in Millwood, Ware County, Georgia on December 21, 1988, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in a news conference.
Her body was found in an old TV cabinet, wrapped in a blanket, placed in a duffel bag and then surrounded by concrete at an illegal dumping site.
Evelyn Odom, also known as Zmecca Luciana, 56, and her live-in boyfriend at the time, Ulyster Sanders, 61, were both arrested on Nov. 9. They were charged with felony murder, child cruelty in the first degree, aggravated battery, concealing the death and conspiracy to conceal the death, police announced Monday.
In 2019, agents used DNA tracing techniques to determine that the child was from a family in the Albany area.
In 2022, after a news coverage, authorities received a tip from a woman who heard of Baby Jane Doe’s story and said she knew of a child that had gone missing and her mother had claimed that the child had gone to live with her father, but the woman never believed her story.
