After almost 35 years, investigators have identified the victim of a 1988 homicide and arrested two suspects in connection with the crime. The victim, Kenyatta “KeKe” Odom, was found encased in concrete near Millwood in Ware County and was known only as Baby Jane Doe. The suspects, 56-year-old Evelyn Odom and 61-year-old Ulyster Sanders, were taken into custody without incident and are believed to have been the victim's mother and live-in boyfriend at the time of her death. The GBI is continuing to investigate the case.
