Investigators using forensic genetic genealogy — a newly available investigative technology — are on the verge of cracking a cold case involving the death of an unidentified infant found in Buckeye Park in San Bruno, California, in 1981.

Authorities now believe the “persons of interest” may be residing in North Texas.

“The investigators believe (the) persons of interest are in the North Texas area,” William Lockridge, spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety, told CBS News Texas.
