The unknown woman was found here.

It is very abandoned.

You can unnoticed here
Dump a body and leave again.

Someone who walked his dog,
Found human remains.

The corpse was found in the desert
Close to Apache Junction ...

48 km east of Phoenix.

It is still unknown
How she could get so far from home.

She was only 16 or 17 years old.

This is the biggest nightmare
of every parent.

When I started the business in 2008 ...

lay this unknown woman
Here for almost 17 years.

Do you recognize me?

This was a young girl.
She still had her entire life in front of herself.

Her family must know
That she has not forgotten.

This had the unknown victim
with her when she was found.

This is a bus coin.

The name of
The transport company from Phoenix.

On the back it is valid for the coin
Is for one ride of a student.

The other object
is a gold ring.

At the front you see
Sit a kind of lump.

There must be a family somewhere
Who misses a daughter or sister.

I decided to dig her up
That way we could get hold of her DNA.

We introduced that in
The database for missing persons.

But that didn't yield anything.

We reconstructed her
View of Billboards shown.

Without results.

We had nothing.

Eventually she was buried again.

Now there is just unidentified.

Then I saw in a magazine article
That the DNA do project ...

genetic tests carried out.
I thought we should try that.

Believe at the DNA Do Project
We that everyone deserves it ...

to be buried
With their name and identity.

We are the last resort
For the most difficult things.

We do everything we can to help them.

They upload DNA of the remains
In genealogy databases.

Millions of people do that
Research into their origins.

When we viewed the DNA result ...

she turned out to be on her mother's side
To be Latin American ...

and German and Afro-American
On her father's side of the family.

That's a very unusual
And challenging combination.

But they were lucky and found
An African-American man, Patrick.

He shared DNA with the woman
And could be her uncle in terms of age.

Possibly he was
her father's brother.

I stood in front of the house
And looked back.

Then I saw an inconspicuous
police car approaching.

De agent reed mijn oprit op en vroeg
Whether I was Patrick Smith.

He said: a lady
In Arizona is looking for you.

I called Stephanie, she said
that a body was found.

They had done DNA research.
Then she said:

We think you are her uncle.
Do you have a brother?

Patrick knew nothing about his brother.

I was adopted.

I knew nothing about my biological
Family, so it was a shock.

I have a niece that died.

And a brother
that I never knew.

He must be somewhere.

Let me know if you find it.
I do have a few questions.

I thought we were her now
could identify.

It is very overwhelming.

This...

has been playing for a long time.

Adoptions are really a nightmare
For a genetic genealogist.

If you encounter such an obstacle, become
It is difficult to find answers.

Cairenn and Harmony have been selected
From the group of volunteers ...

To the case of this unknown
to solve victim.

I signed up immediately
For this case.

As a teenager I had problems and gone
I sometimes in unsafe situations.

I beaten through it,
But not everyone succeeds.

I have a daughter, a teenager.

I can't imagine
That I don't know where she is.

Harmony and I deal with many things
With young girls.

We fight for them.

The challenge for the team
Is that apart from Patrick ...

All other relatives
From the victim ...

less than one percent
share their DNA with her.

So they are very distant family.

The team investigates every name
In the archives.

They want to make a pedigree
For these DNA matches ...

and always try a path
to the victim.

But the matches
don't come close.

If you work on it for 100 hours,
you won't get any further.

We hope that a related
From the victim ...

Uploads its profile in the databases.

I check these matches every day.

No new matches

Sometimes very often a day.

One new match

Oh, my God.

There is a new match.

But shares that enough DNA with
The victim to help with this?

Everything above the one percent is beautiful.

With 1.4 percent, Anastasia would
Still being a distant niece ...

But she does take care of it
For a new indication.

Public data shows that they
of Latin American descent.

Patrick is family
On the father's side.

Anastasia seems to be family
to be from the mother.

She can go to the mother the team
of the victim Leiden.

Sometimes the breakthroughs come naturally,
So this is very exciting.

The online data shows that
Anastasia in Tucson, Arizona lives ...

just a few hours
from Apache Junction.

Stephanie has agreed
With Anastasia and her niece Debbie.

I hope they have information
About her identity.

I'm Stephanie.
- Come on.

Thank you.

That shade is nice, say.
- Yes, sit down.

Thank you for agree.
Is Anastasia your niece?

Our mothers were each other's nieces.

Anastasia has us a match
Delivered with our victim.

Debbie ...

Have you heard about a missing
family member in the 90s?

No, and that surprises me.

We know the victim
is partly Afro-American.

Do you remember someone
From your side of the family ...

With an African-American
Partner or man?

From my mother's side, but me
Don't know exactly who anymore.

I no longer know who is there
was married if children had.

Thank you for your time.
- You really do a great job.

We now know it
was a family member.

She is now buried
With an anonymous tombstone.

How terrible.
- Indeed.

She deserves it again
to have a name.

Debbie and Anastasia ask others
Family members to do DNA tests.

We know this is the family
From the victim ...

But just have to figure out
Where she is in that pedigree.

Have you found the documents?
- Yes, love.

This is my adoption agreement.
January 16, 1956 in Darmstadt.

Patrick is looking for information for
The search for his brother ...

that the father
could be from the woman.

That is an indication.
Maybe the address?

My brother is probably
Also born in Darmstadt, Germany.

I came to America
right in a dark family.

We were called 'brown babies'.

He was part
From a post -war project:

The brown babies adoption plan.

Children had to do their brown skin color
Scrubs off.

That applied after WWII for thousands
Children of German women ...

conceived
By black American soldiers.

To save them
From the prejudices in Germany ...

7000 of these babies were in the
50s and 60s sent to the US ...

To be adopted
By black families.

I used to have no brothers or sisters.

I felt lonely
It made me an outsider.

That also applied to my brother, I think.

It's a sad story,
But gives us instructions ...

About how we have the father
can find the victim.

Just like his brother Patrick ...

he is probably from Germany
adopted after World War II.

We are looking for an African-American man,
Probably from Darmstadt.

He has had a child
From a Latin American woman ...

In Phoenix. So we have to
To find a specific couple.

The team must now be the adoption papers
From Patrick's brother see ...

Or there must be the
Latin American side info come ...

family
from Debbie and Anastasia.

Hello.
- Hi, Harmony.

I logged in in the middle of the night
On the website with pedigree data.

Then I saw something:
A new match.

Then I sat there for a minute
I couldn't believe it.

A family member of Debbie
And Anastasia has uploaded DNA itself.

Take a look at the match
with the unknown victim.

My heaven. Gosh, say.

It can be a full niece.

Precisely. Her aunt is probably
The victim's mother.

We are so close now.
Closer than ever.

I can't believe it.
It's really great.

This is the new tester
On the pedigree.

She is a full niece
From the unknown woman ...

Given the DNA they share.

So her aunt is possible
The mother of the unknown woman.

The team tries the identity
from her parents to find out.

They are looking for the family
On social media on ...

and see the name
from the aunt of the tester.

Here she is: Rachel.

We have to detect her
And see if she's married ...

or has children with someone
That Patrick's brother can be.

Marriage certificate

Hello. How are you?
- Nice to finally meet you.

Indeed. Hi.

Countless video calls later.
Come in.

Thank you.

Sit down.
- Thank you.

We had to wait for the results,
We have that now.

One of the testers turns out
to be a match with our victim.

She is a full niece of her.

Genetically speaking.

I can show you this.
This is the tester.

The mother's sister
Van de Tester, Rachel ...

is likely
The victim's mother.

From the data
It appears that Rachel was married ...

with an African-American man,
Benjamin.

One thing struck us very much
and was a crucial indication:

According to Facebook he was born
In the German Darmstadt.

Do you want to see what it looks like?
- Yes.

I'll take him there.

I looked at the tester and tried
to find her family.

In the end we found
A photo of Benjamin.

When I said that
I really felt my heart pounding.

This is how Patrick looks like.

This is Benjamin.

He looks like Patrick, yes.
- Indeed.

It looks like twins.
- Yes, they even have the same mustache.

Shall I give you this?
- Yes, thank you.

Benjamin and Rachel
So had four children:

Two boys and two girls.

Are they still married?
- They are divorced.

Rachel applied for alimony in 1985.

That is why we know
The birth dates of the children.

Michelle was born
In 1974 and Melody in 1977.

That is in the neighborhood, because it
Victim would be 16 to 18 years old.

One of these two girls
So is the victim?

We have to do more research
To know for sure.

We've never been so close
We have two names.

The team must now watch
Whether there is evidence ...

that one of the daughters after 1992
no longer occurred in the archives.

Then the body was found.

I call the plant,
Maybe that information can find ...

such as death certificates,
of the two women.

Hello, Andre. With Steph of the police.
Can you call me back?

I have a question about
One of our affairs. Thank you.

Can I help you?
- I want to park here for the archive.

Drive straight on. And then on the right.
- Thank you.

Because the parents are divorced,
Looking for Harmony for papers ...

in which custody of
The children is mentioned after 1992.

We are so close now
And I'm starting to get nervous.

I try on Facebook
to find proof ...

that one of the daughters
is still alive.

I think this is one of
The two sisters are from the archive.

The whole family
Seems to live in Phoenix.

I see the Carl Hayden
High school is often mentioned.

So I want to see the yearbooks,
But they are not online ...

So I have to do them personally
look at.

In the 1993 yearbook ...

is the oldest sister, it is,
But not the youngest.

And the 1992 yearbook
Is exactly the same story.

Maybe the sister was
At another school ...

But she does not appear in this.

I keep checking it
As if she is in it.

She doesn't appear in it.

I have the yearbooks of the
Carl Hayden High School.

Michelle is in that of 1992
And 1993, but Melody is missing.

There are addresses of each child
And driving licenses in the database ...

Except from the second daughter, Melody.
- Very interesting.

What have you discovered?

All children are listed
On these papers from 1985.

All four?
- Yes.

In 1993 was the oldest daughter,
Michelle, adult. She was 19.

But it says the oldest son
went to live with his mother ...

And the younger son with the father.
No alimony was imposed.

Where was the 16-year-old? Melody?
Why is she not listed here?

The unknown victim
Must be the second daughter: Melody.

We are going to try to contact
To be recorded with Melody's family ...

To see what he can tell us.

We don't know if they want to be with us
Talk and must be prepared.

Now it becomes serious.
We may know within an hour.

Gosh, say.

Just stay here.
I'm going to the sister's house.

Now it can be time.

I may be immediately already
To the airport.

But you can catch up Harmony.

I'll let you know.
- We thumbs.

Very unfortunate that I will miss it
But I have to get my flight.

Are we going to say she died?
- Yes.

They can be emotionally
of becoming and not believing.

Maybe they can
Close it now.

This can therefore be very intense.
- Yes, we just don't know.

Day, I'm looking for Michelle Harrison.
- She's not at home now.

Can you give this to her
And let her know ...

that I am from the police
And must speak to her?

I have to do her some things
tell about her sister.

Okay, I can call my mother.
- Thank you.

The police are here,
You want to talk about your sister.

About my sister?
- Yes.

'Can you come to the house?
You want to meet the family. "

Gosh.

There we go.

This is nerve -racking.
I don't know what awaits me.

Hi, come in.
- I am Harmony.

Michelle.
- Nice to meet you.

That was tough.
- Yes, it's very spicy.

I'm going to call Cairenn and her
tell what you told me.

Hello.
- Hi, do you have time to talk?

They are now boarding.
Group one will board.

I'm in group four.
- I'll talk to you.

Stephanie left her pictures of
Seeing the ring, they started to cry.

They said it was her ring and that
The mother who had given her.

She had run away
With her boyfriend ...

And they never had again
heard something from her.

They thought she was alive
And hoped to hear from her.

But that never happened.

Now I am becoming emotional.
- I know.

So her name is Melody.
- Indeed.

I still remember our moments.

We were in the same bed, talked,
Share our opinions, laughed ...

We were heart friends,
But also sisters.

We did everything together.

She was like a light in the darkness.

She was very extrovert and liked to sing,
But also had a serious side.

She wanted to become a lawyer.

She could learn very well,
Everyone loved her.

Sorry, I still have to process it.

My sister will not suddenly
come on days.

When Melody left that day ...

I'll be honest.

We had disagreement about her friend.

She just wanted a round
go for a walk.

When she wasn't in the evening
Was at home, we were very worried.

We are until the early morning
From the next day ...

went looking for her.

But we couldn't find her.

We contacted the police
And could give her up missing.

But I don't think there
A lot of effort has been put into.

She was just for the police
A tinted, angry teenager.

"She probably ran away."

But the police didn't know her.
We said she didn't just walk away.

So we were not waiting for the police
And did our own thing.

We literally searched the streets
And the neighborhoods off.

That's how it went for years, we went
Looking for her every day.

We kept hoping.

We thought they might be
wanted to put things in a row ...

And didn't know how she was again
contacted.

But we didn't think she was dead.

And unfortunately we bring
Her now home ...

In a coffin.

We didn't want that.

Stephanie said Melody was buried
In Coolidge, Arizona.

I have to go there.

I always portrayed that we
would drink coffee together.

Maybe I'll bring her coffee.

Then I sit there
And talk to her.

I take my son -in -law
And daughter.

"Unknown victim."

Here she is.

Someone took my sister
But I have to bring her home.

She sings for you. Do you hear that?
- Yes.

We can play her number.

See you soon.

I miss her.

We have had a lot of sorrow ...

But there is really something good
from this situation.

When I got my father
About Uncle Pat told ...

He said: I have a brother.

Thank you very much.
- Don't mention it.

Come on, dad. I'm sure.

It hurts a lot, because my father
loved my sister ...

And she continues to live in his heart.

Well done. Please.

But he has
had several strokes.

We don't often talk about Melody,
Because he can get sick any time.

But contact with his brother
Is something very positive for him.

I never had a brother.

I was all alone.

But as
My daughter already said: DNA is not lying.

It is quite difficult to explain.

I had no family all those years,
And now I suddenly have a family reunion.

It's exciting to your family
to meet for the first time.

Melody ...

Why did she die
So that I could meet my family?

Do you want to know what's going on?

My father has
Not yet met his brother.

This will be the first time.

Dad's brother?
- Yes.

They are there, porridge.

They are there. Come in.

There is your brother, dad.

Hi, Benjamin.
- How are you?

Now it is going well.

That's a long time ago.

I don't cry often.
- I do.

I cry when I'm alone.

You are not alone now.
- No.

It's a great feeling.

We are the same size.
- And we both look sexy.

Indeed.

I have always dreamed of it
To have a brother.

We have a band
That goes beyond words.

This is my wife, Clementine.
- You look like Pat.

I know.

What happened to Melody,
Is bittersweet.

I miss my child.
Every time I hear her name.

I know.
But it's okay, Dad.

It's intense.
- That certainly, yes.

It is heartbreaking,
This is not the desired outcome.

But I am so grateful that Stephanie
And the DNA do not give up project.

There is a breakthrough in
An old murder case in Apache Junction.

The identity of a dead woman who is 31
was found years ago.

Detective Stephanie Bourgeois
Keep looking for a match.

We can say we
have identified her.

It means so much
For me when I hear her name.

Her name was Melody Harrison.

The police investigation into
Melody's death is still ongoing.

Come closer, dad.

Ultimately, your family is
Everything you have.

Show, Dad.

You have to learn to mourn
while you keep hoping.

You can recover as a family
And be there for each other.

Okay. Say 'cheese'.

Limburger.
- Limburg cheese ...

That is tasty cheese.

You are trying to clamp yourself
of the positive memories ...

So that she can continue to live that way.

They have melody
Buried with her family.

In memory of
Melody Harrison
