''It’s been exactly one year since the remains of a little girl were found in a dumpster outside an under-construction house in Toronto’s affluent Rosedale neighbourhood and her identity remains unknown.
Since the gruesome discovery outside a home on Dale Avenue, north of Castle Frank Station, investigators have interviewed people in the area and made appeals to the public for information. They’ve released a description and composite sketch of the child and did genetic genealogy testing to see if her DNA was a match with any children reported missing across North America.
But the investigation remains unsolved''
Now, community members are coming together to try to bring renewed attention to this mysterious case.
Rev. Daniel Cho, of the nearby Rosedale Presbyterian Church (RPC), said this tragedy has left people in the community with feelings of shock, horror, and sadness.
“Usually we assume that (the police) are going to catch who ever is responsible,” he told CP24.com during a recent interview.
“(This little girl) is a ghost and she shouldn’t be.”
''Cho, was hired as the local church’s new minister just two weeks before the child’s remains were found and officially assumed his new role in July, said he knew from the day the remains were discovered that he wanted to do something special with his new congregation to honour her.
“I feel that no person should pass from this earth with no identity, especially a child,” said Cho, who along with several members of his church has organized a one-year service of remembrance.
The gathering will be held on Saturday at 2 p.m. at Rosedale Presbyterian Church at 129 Mt. Pleasant Rd.
“We really want to bring dignity to this child’s life, which is something she didn’t have in her death,” he said.
“We want to change the narrative. We don’t want the last words about her to be those circumstances.”

''Last spring, investigators said they believe that she could have died as far back the summer or even fall of 2021.
They also said that the child’s remains were placed in the dumpster sometime between noon on April 28 and 4:45 p.m. on May 2, 2022.''
