In 1999, the remains of a young boy, probably no older than five or six, were found in a cemetery in DeKalb County Georgia - just outside of Atlanta.\\xa0 The remains were compelling - and heartbreaking.\\xa0 The boy had obviously been well taken car of - obviously loved.\\xa0 The attire was impeccable - his clothing was new, clean and not inexpensive.\\xa0 He had clearly been dressed by a caring parent - probably his mother.\\xa0 His boots were a special type found only in the Atlanta area at the time.\\xa0 So one would think the police had a lot to go on.\\xa0 But no.\\xa0 Not only has it been impossible over the past nearly 21 years to determine the identity of this beautiful child - named "Dennis Doe" by the police because they could not be so cold as to identify him as simply another John Doe - there was absolutely no evidence within the remains to indicate how he died.\\xa0 Was he murdered and left at the cemetery by the killer?\\xa0 Did he get sick and die suddenly, leaving his parents panicked?\\xa0 Had he been kidnapped?\\xa0 No one knows.\\xa0 Because - unbelievably - with the exception of a couple of leads that have led police into complete dead-ends,no one has come forward to even suggest who Dennis Doe really is.\\xa0 Listen in as Melissa details the evidence that exists, the strange and frustrating tips that have gone nowhere - and the hope that exists in the simple knowledge that someone - somewhere - knows who this boy is and has the key that will unlock his story.\\xa0 If you know anything about this case, or even think you might, we urge you to call the DeKalb County Coroner\'s Office at (404) 244-2600.
