Inside Film 'BABY DOE: A Conversation with Director Jessica Earnshaw

July 9, 2026·18 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

The film BABY DOE examines the case of Gail Ritchey, a woman from a conservative Christian community in rural Ohio who, thirty years ago, gave birth to a baby she believed to be stillborn and subsequently left the newborn in the woods. Thirty years later, her quiet suburban life was upended when DNA evidence linked her to the infamous cold case known as "Geauga's Child," leading to her arrest for murder. Baby Doe opens July 10 at DCTV Firehouse Cinema in New York City for a week-long run, with Los Angeles screenings to follow on July 14 and 15. The film will screen in San Francisco at The Roxy on July 19 with additional locations planned, including Seattle, Houston and other cities. Our guest is award-winning filmmaker/director Jessica Earnshaw. Emmy-winning actress Sarah Paulson serves as executive producer of this film.
