WARNING: Trial contains graphic content. Coverage of the Geauga's Child murder trial: The case dates back to March 25, 1993, when a baby boy’s body was found in a trash bag along Sidley Road. The case remained cold for years until Gail Eastwood-Ritchey of Euclid was arrested in June of 2019. Authorities say she was identified through familial DNA that was matched to that of “Geauga’s Child.” Officials say she was the mother of the baby boy, and allegedly admitted to placing the child in a trash bag and leaving him in a wooded area shortly after giving birth. Now, nearly 30 years later, the baby's gravestone remains marked as “Geauga’s Child."
