The Heartbreaking Story of Sharon Elliott – The Hatbox Baby

28. Reflections On The Thirty Year Investigation

After publishing his investigation, D’Anna reflected on the impact he made through the case; especially in Emily and Sharon’s life, by bringing them together in what they shared as the adoptees in their lineage.

A seasoned journalist and storyteller, D’Anna remarked on the importance of journalists to not ever become part of the story, however, he admitted that he truly became part of the story; much of his published article documents the places he went, the people he came across and the houses he sat in going through piles of photo albums.
