In May 2022, Jenna Gerwatowski, a 23-year-old florist from Newberry, Michigan, received a life-altering call from a detective regarding the infamous Baby Garnet case. The case dated back to 1997 when the body of a deceased infant was discovered in a campground pit toilet at Garnet Lake Campground, where Jenna had grown up.
After a DNA match revealed Jenna's relation to the deceased infant, a series of events unfolded, leading to the reopening of the cold case. Detectives, in collaboration with a forensics company and Identifinders International, utilized genetic genealogy to trace Jenna's familial connection to Baby Garnet.
