On the 14th of April 1984, a tragic discovery shook the shores of White Strand Beach in Cahirsiveen, County Kerry, Ireland—a newborn baby boy, discarded and brutally stabbed to death. The investigation that followed cast a spotlight on Joanne Hayes, a local woman who had recently been pregnant. Taken into police custody for questioning, Hayes reportedly confessed to the crime. However, she later recanted, asserting that her confession had been coerced.
Hayes admitted to giving birth to a baby son at the family farm, who tragically died shortly after birth. She confessed to burying him on the premises. Subsequent DNA testing on the buried infant corroborated Hayes' account—the DNA matched her story. The clandestine nature of the birth and death of her son stemmed from the fact that the father was a married man.
Despite the lack of a genetic match between the baby found on the beach and the one buried on the farm, indicating they did not share the same parents, police asserted that Hayes had conceived simultaneously by two different men—a phenomenon known as heteropaternal superfecundation, exceedingly rare but theoretically possible.
Hayes faced a murder charge, yet this accusation was ultimately dismissed by a judge. The infant found on the beach was christened "Baby John," yet his identity and the identity of his killer remain a mystery.
