Spring Girl A Baby Grace Match

While investigators struggle to learn the identity of the girl they’ve named Baby Grace, one grandmother in Ohio is praying the tip she gave them doesn’t solve the mystery.

Galveston County Sheriff’s Office investigators are taking DNA samples from an Ohio father, Robert Sawyers, to see whether it matches the remains of a little girl found Oct. 29 in a plastic tub on a small island in Galveston Bay, spokesman Maj. Ray Tuttoilmondo said.

Test results take two to three weeks.

He said the Sawyers case is one of several investigators are focusing on, but said he didn’t want to highlight one lead over another.

Sheryl Sawyers last saw her granddaughter, 2-year-old Riley Ann Sawyers, May 25.
