[Verse 1] In Bear Brook forest, barrels found Four bodies there without a name Nineteen eighty-five, the first was found Then fifteen years brought more the same A woman and three children small No missing persons matched at all [Chorus] Three algorithms solved the case Genetic genealogy traced their place Isotopes tell where they lived before Facial reconstruction opened the door DNA, chemicals, and digital art Put the pieces back together, part by part [Verse 2] Genetic genealogy took the lead Building family trees from DNA Distant cousins planted the seed To find their names from yesterday Marlyse Honeychurch was revealed Her daughters' identities unsealed [Chorus] Three algorithms solved the case Genetic genealogy traced their place Isotopes tell where they lived before Facial reconstruction opened the door DNA, chemicals, and digital art Put the pieces back together, part by part [Verse 3] Isotope analysis read the clues In tooth enamel, water's trace Chemical signatures give us news Of drinking water's native place Algorithms mapped where they had been From chemistry beneath their skin [Chorus] Three algorithms solved the case Genetic genealogy traced their place Isotopes tell where they lived before Facial reconstruction opened the door DNA, chemicals, and digital art Put the pieces back together, part by part [Bridge] Facial reconstruction algorithms drew What these victims looked like then Computer models brought into view Faces lost, but found again Tips came in from those who knew The mystery was breaking through [Verse 4] The same DNA techniques that caught The Golden State Killer years before Found Terry Rasmussen, the man they sought A serial killer, now no more He'd died in prison, name unknown But algorithms brought him home [Final Chorus] Three algorithms solved the case Genetic genealogy traced their place Isotopes tell where they lived before Facial reconstruction opened the door When bodies have no names to tell Code can break through mystery's spell [Outro] From Bear Brook forest to the truth Algorithms gave them back their names Science serves to find the proof When cold cases play their games
