About this episode

The episode discusses the discovery of a newborn boy's remains in Albany and the subsequent memorial service held for him.

On September 7, 1997, city park workers discovered the remains of a newborn boy near the Moses statue in Albany's Washington Park. Because his identity was initially unknown, the City of Albany and local funeral directors held a proper, deeply moving memorial service and burial for the infant.
