Atcel Olmedo (formerly known as DuPage Johnny Doe ) is an American toddler who was allegedly murdered by his cruel stepfather and mother in 2005 and dumped in Naperville, Illinois. His body was not positively identified until 2011, after one of his six siblings advanced. The case received national attention and was broadcast on several different television shows. The forensic evidence obtained from the body during the investigation is analyzed to help identify its future. The case remains unorganized; the suspects have not been found, and they may have left the United States.

Discovery
In October 2005, a small body was found in an unrelated area between Naperville and Warrenville, DuPage County, Illinois, by a man walking with his dog. The body was wrapped in a blue laundry bag dumped with the Ronald Reagan Memorial Tollway (Interstate 88). It was wearing a button-down blue collared shirt with matching pants. The remains were decomposed beyond recognition, because the corpse had been lying there for at least a few weeks and probably for a year.
The medical examiner determines that the body is a Hispanic, Native American or Asian man between three and five years with black hair. Because of the advanced body decomposition, however, even eye color and the exact cause of death are impossible to determine. He was buried following the plot service in October 2007, in a donation plot, accompanied by a teddy bear; both his body and his teddy bear were covered by a blanket decorated with many designs.

Investigation
Clothing worn by an unidentified victim, Faded Glory, tracked to Walmart, its exclusive retailer. They are alleged to have been bought in Naperville, at a Walmart store near where the corpse was found. The company assists the investigation, because it was released to review all goods purchase records; only one sale that can not be tracked, because it is a cash purchase. Children's footprints were taken and compared to those from hospitals in the area, but did not match any of the records. By studying the isotopes of his body, it is believed that he had lived in Illinois for most, if not all, of his short life. The analysis also shows that her mother had lived in the northern part of the continent, where she spent most of her pregnancy.
In 2005, an investigator from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children became involved in Olmedo's case, the solution being prioritized by the organization. The evidence is compared to at least 12 boys missing from Illinois and other missing children in the United States who have the same age range and race. His face was also forensically reconstructed many times in 3D and 2D, along with digital rendering to give an approximation of his resemblance when he was alive. To help search for victim identities, television shows like America's Most Wanted and Without a Trace broadcast cases. The local police department was working on child abuse cases in early 2008 and believed that the boy might have been the victim of the same person. A girl, who later turned out to be her sister, had told how her stepfather had put her and her siblings into a brutal beating that left visible wounds on her body. Persecution allegedly occurred every day.
Identify
Olmedo was identified by DNA comparison after his sister was revealed, while in an orphanage, he believed that the unidentified corpse was his brother, as his grandmother said in 2006 that she had been killed a month before her third birthday. His death was, it was claimed, due to the abuse of his stepfather and his mother. Olmed's sister stated that she believed in the image made by the National Center for Missing & amp; The Exploited Child is the most accurate of the reconstructions of the created face, but does not have a picture of his sister to compare.
Atcel's stepmother and stepmother returned from Mexico to the United States without him. Her sister asks about her whereabouts, and notices that whenever Atel is missing her siblings will be beaten by their parents. Officials can not find their mother and stepfather, admitting that they are likely to flee to Mexico. None of the suspects has been officially charged, which is why their names have not been released yet. After Atcel is identified, the child's name is finally added to the headstone, which also states the date the body was found and the words "Child, Unknown, but not forgotten". The $ 11,000 prize is offered for information that leads to the killers.
