Baby girl who was found on a Deer Island beach.

WINTHROP, Mass. — Police are renewing their plea for the public to help identify a baby girl

?w=613&h=607

Millions share picture of missing girl found on Boston beach as police try to ID her

around a half-dozen offers have come in to cover funeral costs for the little girl.

While police await toxicology results to determine how the girl died, Conley told reporters that investigators are still unsure if the body washed ashore or was placed there because her body was reasonably in tact and hadn’t decayed much.

The girl was wearing just the polka dot leggings, and the zebra blanket was in a plastic bag next to her.

The girl is described as having brown hair and brown eyes, she weighed about 30 pounds and was about 3.5 feet tall, and she was about 4 years old at the time of her death.

because healthy 4 year olds don't just die. I'm guessing suffocation, trauma and illness have been ruled out already.

Sad to say, some parents drug their children to get them to sleep so they can go out and work and this isn't a new thing, at all. A teacher friend often had one or more kids addicted to heroin because they'd been given it to drug them to sleep. This was 45 years ago and in Head Start. I imagine the practice has increased as poverty has.
