Police get a little help from the media, without it they say the identity of "Precious Doe" would have remained a mystery and her killers would still be out there.
On April 28, 2001, police search a wooded area in Kansas City, MO and make a gruesome discovery. They find the headless, battered corpse of young "Precious Doe." Three days later a volunteer finds Precious Doe's head wrapped in a plastic bag and dumped in the woods. Investigators are stunned that a child so young could be dead but not reported missing. The investigation unfolds as detectives gets sketches of the girl, and they get help from forensic anthropologists who recreate her face, in the hopes that someone will recognize her.
After four years of media attention, a tip helped police identify Precious Doe as Erica Michelle Maria Green. In May of 2005, the girl's mother, Michelle Johnson, and stepfather, Harrel Johnson, were charged with her murder.
Some people will do anything to get rid of they kids and I don't understand how you can give birth to a child full of joy and just kill that child. How can you murder a child so gruesomely as to go and cut off that child head? It breaks my hearts to here things like this, if you don't want to take care of your child then give if up to a family who will don't be an a** and kill the child, you can take the child to a hospital or a firehouse.
