Boy, 2, found dead in Oregon identified 58 years later

Oregon authorities recently identified the remains of a 2-year-old boy who was found in a mountainous area 58 years ago concealed under multiple layers of blankets, bound with wire and held down by pieces of iron, ending what was believed to be the state's oldest unidentified persons case.

The case went cold a month later and the files were archived. In 2007, Jackson County Sheriff's Detective Colin Fagan uncovered 11 boxes that read "old sheriff cases" and asked special investigator Jim Tattersall to sort through them.  "It was during that investigation Tattersall discovered the Keene Creek case," the Sheriff's Office said. "In August 2008, the tiny body was exhumed from his resting place at Hillcrest Memorial Park cemetery and a DNA sample was taken."
