Thirty years ago, Gail Ritchey, a young woman from a conservative Christian community in rural Ohio, gave birth alone and left her newborn in the woods. Now a devoted mother of three, her quiet suburban life is shattered when DNA evidence links her to the infamous cold case of “Geauga’s Child, ” leading to her arrest for murder. Authorities dismiss her claim that the baby was stillborn, and the media swiftly vilify her. BABY DOE cuts through the headlines to uncover the human complexity of Gail’s case.
