Delta Dawn

In December 1982, a toddler’s body was discovered in the Escatawpa River in Moss Point, Mississippi. With water in her lungs, investigators believed she was smothered before she was thrown off the eastbound Interstate-10 bridge into the river. But the toddler’s identity baffled investigators for decades, and she became known as Delta Dawn.
