A Missing Puzzle Piece: Emily Dodds
At this point, with so many dead ends, it seemed impossible to know for certain whether Freda and Walter Roth were really Elliot’s biological parents. But to D’Anna’s luck, new evidence turned up, which cemented the Roths as Elliot’s parents: Emily Dodds Farro. Dodds turned out to be Elliot’s biological great-grandniece.
Dodds lived in Iowa, where most of Elliot’s biological family lived. D’Anna had come across Dodd’s ancestry while following up on a lead. He knocked on the door of a woman who was reported to have known the Roths personally, and it turned out to be Elliot’s great-grandniece. With her appearance, D’Anna was able to answer some more questions.
