But now Kyle's lawyer is saying there might be an investigation. So armed with this new information, we reach out to the Toronto Police again. And they give us an official statement. There's nothing about an Accumetrix investigation in their system. What started out as a promising lead goes cold. The authorities don't seem to be that interested in Accumetrix.
Taking legal action against Acumetrix comes up a lot amongst the members of Coral's Facebook group.
But here's a bitter pill. Because the direct-to-consumer prenatal paternity tests Acumetrix sold aren't regulated in Canada, there really aren't many ways to seek accountability. Plus, there's generally a two-year statute of limitation on personal injury cases. From the moment someone realizes the prenatal paternity test named the wrong dad, the legal clock starts ticking to file a claim.
But those two years can pass in a blink in the midst of emotional turmoil. The California mother, Sarah Domenico, she managed to sue Acumetrix, but only because she filed her claim exactly two years, to the day, after her daughter's birth. This is why Codal and her Facebook group reached out to us in the first place. Right now, our investigation is the only way for them to get answers.
For the vast majority of them, including Codal, it's likely too late to sue. It's been four years since Kodal sent her first DNA test samples to Acumetrix. Four years since that first gender reveal party. Kodal was just a teenager then, waiting on prenatal paternity test results from Acumetrix. Today, things are different in Kodal's life.
In a video shot this summer, her daughter Harlow holds a water gun. On cue, she pulls the trigger. Blue dye shoots out. Kodal is pregnant again.
Standing next to her is the baby's father. And when Harlow sprays him with blue dye, he laughs. This man is helping raise four-year-old Harlow, and their life is pretty settled. But all these years later, Kodal is still simply trying to fix the paperwork.
Like Caudill, John Brennan is still trying to come to terms with what happened to his family. The devastation of finding out he had no biological connection to the baby he'd raised for eight months. Even today, almost a decade after giving up a child he loved, the pain he endured when he goes back there, it's still raw.
his friend Delano tried to help.
He didn't go through with the operation. Eventually, he found love again. He's engaged now and imagines a family.
But he remains permanently marked from his first time as a parent in more ways than one.
The baby's name, Travis, in large cursive script on the inside of his right bicep. Years later, after John had time to process what he'd lost, all that happened. He got the tattoo updated. Now, it says travesty.
Bad Results is written and reported by me, Jorge Barrera.
Fabiola Melendez-Carletti is our coordinating producer. And Carla Hilton is our executive producer.
Additional mixing by Evan Kelly. Additional research support by Dexter McMillan and Aloysius Wong. And voice coaching by Pippa Johnstone.
My personal favorite is season 24, Hunting Warhead, which takes us into the darkest corners of the internet. It follows an international team working to rescue child abuse victims who could be anywhere in the world.
