In Episode 2 of Forensic Echoes, we trace the shocking story of Mary Alice Maloney: a Connecticut native whose body was found 800 miles from home. We dissect the investigative failures that led to her initial misidentification and reveal the painstaking, multi-year process by which the DNA Doe Project corrected the record.
The puzzle is solved, but the truth remains hidden. The DNA gave Mary Alice her name back, but the investigation into her murder is just beginning.
