52-year-old cold case murder solved; social workers’ case dismissed in death of 8-year-old

Police in Orange County, California, have solved a 52-year-old cold case murder — the county’s oldest Jane Doe case. Using genetic genealogy, detectives were able to identify a young woman who had been found dead in a Huntington Beach farm field more than half a century ago. Plus, a Los Angeles County judge dismissed the case against four social workers who were charged in connection with the torture death of 8-year-old Gabriel Fernandez. Jesse Weber joins us.
