WINTHROP (MyFoxBoston.com) -- Officials have released an image of the girl found on Deer Island last week in hopes that someone would recognize who she is and call police.

The girl, who police estimate was around 4 years old at the time of her death, was found in a trash bag on the western shore of Deer Island in Winthrop last Thursday.

At a news conference Thursday, police released a sketch of her created by an artist as well as photos of the polka-dot leggings she was wearing when she was found and a fleece blanket found with her body.

Police say the young girl had brown eyes and brown hair, weighed roughly 30 pounds and was about 3-and-a-half feet tall.

Officials are unsure if the girl washed ashore or was dropped off by someone in a vehicle.

Snipped:

Anyone who has any information about this girl, or a missing child, is asked to call
Mass. State Police at (508)821-2121, or Winthrop Police at 617-539-5806.

Child’s remains found on Deer Island
Police seek help to identify girl

DEER ISLAND — The remains of a girl believed to be a toddler were found on the shoreline of Deer Island on Thursday afternoon by a woman walking her dog, a chilling discovery that stunned neighbors and prompted police to call for the public’s help in identifying the child.

During a news conference at the scene, State Police Lieutenant Colonel Frank Matthews said the woman found the remains around 1 p.m. Matthews and Suffolk Assistant District Attorney Mark Lee provided no other details, including the length of time that her remains were on the shoreline and whether there were signs of foul play.

A law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation said the remains were found in a plastic trash bag. Another law enforcement official briefed on the case said authorities believe the child’s remains may have washed up on the shore.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy Friday, officials said.

Suffolk County District Attorney's Office - Daniel F. Conley - MA

Authorities Release Description of Toddler Found Dead on Deer Island

BOSTON, June 26, 2015—Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley, State Police Colonel Timothy Alben, and Winthrop Police Chief Terence Delehanty today released a physical description of the young girl whose body was found on Deer Island yesterday.

After a physical examination by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, investigators believe the girl was about 4 years old with brown eyes and brown hair that was about 14 inches long. She stood about 3½ feet tall, and weighed just over 30 pounds. She was not significantly overweight or underweight for her height. Her ethnicity has not been established.

Neither the cause nor the manner of the girl’s death has yet been determined. Pathologists will undertake additional specialized testing before attempting to make those findings.

The investigation into the circumstances of the girl’s death and how her body came to be on the western shoreline of Deer Island, where it was discovered by a dog walker early yesterday afternoon, remains active, as do efforts to link her case with existing reports of missing children.

Perhaps most valuable, authorities said, will be assistance from members of the public who notice that a child meeting this description has gone missing from their community. Anyone aware of such a missing child may call the Suffolk County State Police Detective Unit at 617-727-8817 or Winthrop Police at 617-539-5806.

Police seek clues to identity of girl found on Deer Island

By Laura Crimaldi Globe Staff
Boston Globe - Boston, MA

June 27, 2015



Scott Eisen for The Boston Globe
State Police divers searched the water around Deer Island
on Friday after the discovery of human remains.


Investigators trying to learn the identity of a young girl whose body was found Thursday afternoon on a Deer Island beach have received tips about the case but still need the public’s help to solve the tragic mystery, law enforcement officials said Saturday.

“Our hope is that someone has to notice that this little girl, this true innocent, is not around anymore,” said David Procopio, a State Police spokesman. “The most basic thing, the thing we need most right now, is to know her name. And we need the public to help us do that.”

Procopio and Jake Wark, spokesman for Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley, declined to say how many tips investigators have received and would not describe the information in them.

Suffolk District Attorney Daniel Conley, along with state and local police, have released a computer-generated image of a child whose remains were found off the coast of Massachusetts.

Authorities say there are no strong leads in regards to the child's identity, so they are asking for the public's help. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has also been made aware of this situation.

The union president of Massachusetts Water Resources Authority says they will pay burial if the child is not claimed. The group is also raising funds for a bench and tree where the girl's body was found.

Clothing from girl found on Deer Island

I have been keeping up with this on another site and someone should be watching their back because this story is all over the place and she will be identified. It will not take long to link her to who ever had custody of her and did not report her missing. It is a crying shame people are just throwing kids away like trash. God rest her soul

Hi, Nene!

Long time; no see!

Being tossed away like trash reminds me of the Caylee Anthony case in a way.

I am so thankful, this little girl was found rather quickly and law enforcement and others have been able to provide pics of her leggings and blanket. Also, sketch artist created a very realistic pic of her. Amazing picture, actually.

WINTHROP, Mass.–Police are renewing their plea for the public to help identify a baby girl who was found on a Deer Island beach.

...“If you are the parent or caregiver of this young girl, please step forward, clear your conscience,” Conley said in a statement to the girl’s parents, wherever they may be.

About 20 tips were credible enough to be investigated, but all of those girls were located and found to be safe.

...Investigators have ruled out several missing girls that people have reported looked like baby doe, including Ayla Reynolds from Maine and Aliayah Lunsford from West Virginia.

Officials":  Family May Know about Mass "Baby Doe's" death
(No date on article, but appeared online on July 8, 2015)

WINTHROP, Mass. (CBS News) -- The Massachusetts state police have not ruled out the possibility that an unidentified girl found dead June 25 on a Boston Harbor peninsula was killed by a family member, an agency spokesman told 48 Hours' Crimesider.

...The child's body didn't show any apparent signs of trauma and it's not clear whether or not she was murdered, Procopio told Crimesider. However, after her information was shared with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and state and local jurisdictions across the country, Procopio said state police can't find any corresponding missing persons reports.

...It's likely the child was never reported missing at all, he said -- raising the possibility that a family member or caretaker knows about her disappearance, but hasn't come forward because they may have killed the girl or disposed of her body.

...Tuesday, Suffolk County district attorney Dan Conley spoke directly to the child's parents at a press conference, appealing to them to contact authorities. "If you are a parent or caregiver and you did this -- placed her body in a trash bag, wrapped it in a blanket and left it on the beach or put her in the ocean -- clear your conscience," Conley said. "Step forward and make yourself known, because nobody deserves that kind of ending."

Hi, Curious!

Thanks for the updates! I've been out of town and I am so glad you updated this thread.

It is so sad that no one has come forward about this little girl. If family does not come forward, one would think perhaps a neighbor or maybe even a doctor (if the child had a doctor) would come forward. Then again .. . maybe her parents or caregiver did not take the child to a doctor on a regular basis for vaccinations, check-ups, etc.

I am hoping this little girl is identified soon. She deserves to be buried with a name.

Investigators check for link between Baby Doe and Baby Kate
Koco McAboy Published: July 9, 2015, 1:41 pm Updated: July 9, 2015, 6:28 pm

LUDINGTON, Mich. (WOOD) — After the discovery of a 4-year-old girl’s body along the shore of Boston Harbor in Massachusetts, the Mason County Sheriff’s Office is looking at whether the “Baby Doe” could be Katherine Phillips — a baby who went missing in 2011 in Mason County.

Mason County Sheriff Kim Cole said that while the Baby Doe lead is the most recent lead in the Baby Kate case, it’s one of hundreds they’ve received over the years.

Right now it doesn’t appear the two cases are connected, but authorities aren’t ruling anything out.

Who is Baby Doe?
July 23, 2015 10:18 AM MST

For nearly a month, the face of this little girl has dominated social media. Who is she? Where did she come from? How did she end up wrapped in a trash bag, on the shore of Deer Island? As of Wednesday, authorities have a DNA profile for her, but have not been able to match it to any children that are currently known to be missing, though many people thought right away she could be Aliayah Lunsford, Kate Phillips, or Ayla Reynolds. How has no one come forward to claim this girl?

Relentless hunt for baby doe
Cop: ‘The phones have been blowing up’
Friday, July 31, 2015

...“The phones have been blowing up,” Herman said yesterday. “We’ve been working on lead sheets to rule out names and situations that may fit a certain profile, or warrant a closer look.”

Herman explained that credible leads are followed up by what are known as “well-being checks.”

“With the assistance of local police, we will go to the front door of addresses where there may be cause for concern, where someone has reported they haven’t seen a child, or to make sure a child is doing well,” he said.

“We’ve done over 100 well-
being checks already. And they’ve stretched as far north as Presque Isle, Maine, to Tacoma, Washington. We’ve also enlisted the support of police from outside of the country in two cases to conduct well-being checks.”

Phone tips now number in the tens of thousands, Herman said.

Many leads, few clues in mystery of Deer Island girl
Detectives try to identify little girl left dead on Deer Island
By Evan Allen and Laura Crimaldi Globe Staff  August 08, 2015

...But now, at last, homicide detective Trooper Daniel Herman had something he hoped would narrow the sprawling investigation that had sent investigators scrambling to track down leads from Peru to India to the forests of Brazil:

Pollen.

Sticky and hardy, the pollen that had floated from the flora surrounding Baby Doe in life had clung to her in death, coating her blanket, leggings, and hair. Detectives already suspected that the child had died locally, but where she had lived had remained a mystery.

On that 41st day, the results of the pollen analysis came back. Baby Doe had played among the pines and oaks of New England; she was dusted with traces of privet hedges and cedar-of-Lebanon, which are not native but are often planted in the suburbs. The soot mixed in with the pollen told investigators her surroundings were urban. Somewhere near Boston, they concluded.

A local girl.

A place to start.

'Baby Doe' may have traveled across country during short life, report says
Published September 02, 2015

...The body of the toddler, now known as “Baby Doe,” was discovered in a trash bag on Deer Island in Massachusetts June 25. The latest tests, conducted by Salt Lake City laboratory IsoForensics, examined hair and tooth enamel for telltale isotopes that come from food and water in specific regions around the country and world. Preliminary results show the 3-year-old could have moved around the country during her short life.

"Preliminary results suggest that the child may have spent time in any of several New England states, as well as other locations across the U.S.,” police and prosecutors said in a statement. “Scientists have not yet compared the biological evidence with drinking water samples in other countries. As a result, investigators are not drawing any specific conclusions on the analysis until it is complete.”

GoPro Adventures:
! PM Central time.

Mentioned kayaking off coast and around Deer Island.
Showed participants loading vehicles aboard ferry called, Deer Island Princess..
Showed participants checking into a modern and eloquent hotel on Deer Island.
Camera pan showed residences tucked into the trees on Deer Island... and a light house a bit away on some rocks.
Mentioned the waters here are horrendous as the currents twist and turn around the rocks, coming off shore from mainland, and then colliding with ocean currents.

I mentioned all the above because i had believed Deer Island was uninhabited.
I was not aware there IS a population living there year round.
There is ferry service.
There is a hotel.

This changes the dynamics of who may be responsible for this little girl and what her name might be.... A ferry, hotel service, residents... hmmm. Implication is Deer Island is not as isolated as I believed. Perhaps, one of those visiting the island or a relative of a resident may have information on the child.

History/info on Deer Island:

"...Deer Island is a popular recreation destination. A hiking/biking trail encircles the island, which is reachable via car, bus, or sea. A public boat dock is at the southwest corner of the island. Trails also climb escarpments on the island, including the highest one near the water tower. This vantage point offers views of the city, ocean, and Logan International Airport and is a popular spot for planespotting. The southern tip of the island offers some of the best views from land of the Boston harbor islands...."

"...Although still an island by name, Deer Island has been connected to the mainland since the former Shirley Gut channel, which once separated the island from the town of Winthrop, was filled in by the 1938 New England hurricane.[1] Today Deer Island is the location of the Deer Island Waste Water Treatment Plant, whose 150-foot-tall (46 m) egg-like sludge digesters are major harbor landmarks.[2][3]


The island has a permanent size of 185 acres (0.75 km2), plus an intertidal zone of a further 80 acres (320,000 m2). Two-thirds of the island's area is taken up with the waste water plant, which treats sewage from 43 nearby cities and towns and is the second largest such plant in the United States[citation needed]. ..."
