In a breakthrough development, Evelyn Odom, also known as Zmecca Luciana, and her live-in boyfriend at the time, Ulyster Sanders, have been indicted on multiple charges in the case of Kenyatta Odom, whose remains were discovered in Ware County, Georgia, nearly 35 years ago. The grand jury indictment, filed on November 1, includes charges of felony murder, first-degree child cruelty, aggravated battery-family violence, conspiracy to conceal a death, and concealing a death.

Kenyatta Odom, who was only 5 years old at the time, tragically lost her life in 1988. It was not until December 21, 1988, that road workers stumbled upon her remains in a remote area near Duncan Bridge Road. Her body was found wrapped in a blanket inside a duffel bag encased in concrete, concealed within an old television cabinet.

For decades, the young girl went by the name "Baby Jane Doe" as her true identity remained unknown. However, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) has recently revealed that Kenyatta Odom is the name they want to be recognized, fondly referred to as 'Keke'.

According to the disturbing details of the indictment, Kenyatta resided with her mother, Evelyn Odom, and Sanders in Albany, Georgia, where she met her untimely demise. The indictment alleges that the duo submerged the young girl in scalding water, resulting in severe disfigurement of her legs and feet, ultimately leading to her death. Odom and Sanders allegedly conspired to cover up the crime by encasing her body in concrete and disposing of it in the sprawling woods of Ware County.

The charges brought against Odom and Sanders include child cruelty, aggravated battery, and conspiracy to conceal a death. These offenses ordinarily carry statute of limitations periods, but in this case, the statutes were tolled due to the unknown identity of the perpetrator. Notably, murder has no statute of limitations.

The investigative efforts to unveil the true identity of "Baby Jane Doe" spanned nearly 35 years. In recent years, the GBI utilized advanced DNA testing, leading to the breakthrough in identifying Kenyatta Odom. This crucial progress came shortly after News4JAX featured the story, prompting a call from an unidentified woman who believed she may know the identity of the little girl in question. The GBI investigated the lead and utilized DNA testing to establish a familial connection, ultimately uncovering the truth.

Special Agent in Charge Jason Seacrist of the GBI commended the partnership between his agency and the Ware County Sheriff's Office, emphasizing the dedication of detectives and the original investigators who never forgot about the child's heartbreaking story. Ware County Sheriff Carl James, one of the original detectives on the case, expressed gratitude for the countless efforts put into solving the mystery.

Additionally, it was revealed that an anonymous community member generously offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to the identification of "Baby Jane Doe."

Odom and Sanders, now facing serious charges of murder and concealment, will be held accountable for their alleged heinous actions committed over three decades ago. As the legal proceedings unfold, the pursuit of justice for Kenyatta Odom, whose true identity has been found, continues to be the central focus.
