In an update that bridges a chilling gap across decades, the San Bruno Police Department has reported a breakthrough in the unresolved case of an infant found deceased at Buckeye Park in 1981. The case, which had seen little progress over 40 years, found momentum thanks to advancements in forensic genetic genealogy. The method has allowed investigators to identify the family of the infant, bringing a ray of hope to an otherwise cold investigation. The San Bruno Police Department disclosed this development via a social media post emphasizing years of joint efforts with the Texas Department of Public Safety and forensic partners.
In the original incident, which dates back to 1981, authorities were called to Buckeye Park following the grim discovery of the infant's remains. An exhaustive search ensued but failed to ascertain the child's identity or the responsible parties. Since then, the case persisted unsolved until recent technology provided the needed breakthrough. San Bruno Police is keeping the names of the infant's parents confidential for the time being.
To facilitate the community's involvement, the San Bruno Police Department has provided multiple channels for contact. Individuals with information are invited to call them at (650) 616-7100 or through email at [email protected].
