DESCRIPTION:

PLEASE LISTEN TO ‘EPISODE 12’ FOR MORE DETAILS ON THIS TWO-PART CASE. 

On this episode of They Walk Among America… A teenage mother, who was a ward of the state, reluctantly gave up her baby son Dennis. She was convinced it was the right thing to do as she was told her child would be safe and loved. When Dennis would have turned 19, his mother Jerry tried to contact him only to discover her son died when he was just three and a half years old. But when Jerry looked into Dennis’ death, all was not what it seemed. She pushed to get answers for the little boy she lost. Would justice prevail?… (Part 2 of 2).
