Posted on November 4, 2021June 24, 2025 by Dissent

Vimal Patel reports on how DNA has finally solved a 60-year-old mystery: the identity of a boy killed in a car crash.

They called him “Unknown Boy.”

The blue-eyed hitchhiker with olive skin drowned when the car he was riding in crashed through the rail of a bridge and plunged into the Cahaba River in Bibb County, Ala., on March 27, 1961, according to an F.B.I. report. The driver survived the crash and offered a few details about the boy but not enough to identify him.
