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.

Criminologist on girl washed ashore on Deer Island: 'She was probably killed by a family member'
Bob Ward, FOX25, Jul 04, 15 1:47 pm edt,
speaks with Jack Levin, Northeastern University Criminologist, who makes the point,

"Chances are this was an intimate murder,"

[...]

"I think its a very interesting idea that this little girl had been cared for. There were at least mixed feelings on the part of the killer," he said. "There seems to be some kind of feeling for this little girl, and that also indicates, she was probably killed by a family member."

[...]

The printer who produced the life-like posters of the girl's photo, Johnson Reprographics of Boston, is refusing to take any money for the job. So many others are offering to pay to have the child buried.

[...]

"any information...

call Mass. State Police at (508)821-2121

...Winthrop Police at 617-539-5806."

Can this computer generated image of a &#8216;Baby Doe&#8217; lead investigators to her identity?
By Elahe Izadi, The Washington Post, July 8m 3:19 PM


[...]

"They also have no idea how she died. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children created the composite image, which police shared on Facebook last week"


[... Bob Lowery, VP, of Missing Children Division]

"called composites &#8220;vitally important&#8221; since photos like those of the dead child are &#8220;not appropriate&#8221; to share with the public. &#8220;But it&#8217;s the public we need to engage with, to look at this child, because that&#8217;s how we&#8217;re going to get her identified.&#8221;"

[... according to Suffolk District Attorney, Daniel F. Conley]

"She was found in a large trash bag on Deer Island and Conley told the Globe that police believe she had only been dead a short time before she was discovered."

"authorities are awaiting the results of toxicology tests to determine if the girl was poisoned or ingested drugs."

"Please step forward, clear your conscience and help us identify this young child."

"We need people to continue to look at her and think about her and let us know if anything in their memory clicks."

BOSTON &#8212;Investigators have set up two new ways for the public to provide information in the ongoing effort to identify a little girl whose body was found almost three weeks ago in a trash bag on Deer Island.

Photos: Girl's clothing, blanket

People can provide information via anonymous text by sending "GIRL" followed by the tip to 67283, or by calling a dedicated 24-hour hotline at 617-396-5655.

"We know we are one tip away from solving this mystery," Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel Conley said.

Special Texas lab joins Deer Island investigation
Her DNA was recently sent to the University of North Texas, which he said specializes in familial mitochondrial DNA, the advanced technique of matching a person&#8217;s DNA to their close family members instead of simply identifying two identical samples.

The process, which takes several months, could match the child to a close adult relative who may be in a national database like the FBI&#8217;s Combined DNA Index System, or CODIS.
