On August 4, 2020, 12-year-old Jaylen Griffin went to the corner store in his neighborhood to try and make a little money helping people carry their groceries home.  On this day,  he brings his new puppy with him and many people remember seeing the boy and his puppy. But Jaylen Griffin and his puppy never makes it home that evening. It seems as though Jaylen has vanished into thin air. Neighborhood searches, flyers, reward money, nothing helps bring the boy home. Three months after Jaylen goes missing his older brother is murdered, shot dead almost in front of their Buffalo, New York home. Days turn into weeks, weeks into months, and months into years. In September 2023, Jaylen's mother dies,never knowing what happened to her 12-year-old son. Months after her passing, the decomposed remains of Jaylen Griffin are found in the attic of a house about 5-miles from where Jaylen lived in south Buffalo. The house was no stranger to law enforcement and many people wonder how it was possible the remains of a child could decompose in the attic of a house with many residents and nobody smelled or saw anything. On this episode of Body Bags, Joseph Scott Morgan will breakdown the forensics that will help determine the  cause and manner of death and  try to answer questions that could lead to justice for Jaylin Griffin   Transcript Highlights 00:03.10 Introduction of life, memories  01:06.13 Talk about 12-year-old boy missing 4 years 05:20.86 Talk about getting help from dentist to ID victim 07:45.26 Discussion of how to identify remains of a child 11:36.93 Discussion of "Bite" marks as evidence  17:00.65 Jaylen and the "12-year molar" 20:05.82 Discussion of weather on remains 24:45.81 Talk about the home where Jaylen's remains were found 29:22.81 Discussion of remains and smell, compare to Harmony Montgomery 33:00.68 Discussion of law enforcement, fire, rescue calls to address 37:24.74 Talk about remains having "soft tissue" 41:20.56 Conclusion will the remains lead to a murderer?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
