DNA Tested in 'Baby Grace' Investigation

Galveston County investigators have poured over the thousands of tips they have received in the case of Baby Grace, the girl whose body was found in a plastic storage case on a small island near Galveston last month.

But Galveston county detectives know little more about the child they've named Baby Grace.

Just knowing who the girl is would be a major key to solving the case.

“That’s all we’re looking for if you can (identify) this little girl tell us who she is,” said FBI special agent John Kinard. The FBI is assisting the Galveston County Sherriff’s office in the investigation.

On Tuesday, the FBI offered a $20,000 reward for help in confirming the dead girl’s ty.

Three weeks into this investigation, from the time a lone fisherman discovered the box off a remote area in Galveston's West Bay, detectives said they've received thousands of phone calls and nearly 300 solid leads, 100 of which have been specific to a missing girl said the sheriff's office.

Two of those leads have resulted in the submission of DNA samples from two different sets of parents living outside of Galveston who claim the child is theirs.

But it will be weeks before they make a comparison to Baby Grace’s DNA

“Unfortunately this is not as fast as we see on ‘CSI.’ These tests do take time,” said Galveston County Sheriff Office Maj. Ray Tuttoilmondo

Detectives tell us they have taken each lead seriously, including a report from an Ohio man who says the mother of his daughter took her to the Galveston area.

A source tells 11 News that man called detectives 12 days ago and that for now, it’s a lead that's no more credible than any other is.
