Boston Harbor "Baby Doe" May Have Been Poisoned!

4 year old Baby Doe found in Boston Harbor

Boston, MA: Just ten days ago I blogged about my hope that like the formerly known Baby Grace, Riley Ann Sawyer, would be quickly identified, by perhaps, a relative who didn't see the child enough to realise she was missing.

From that blog:
"Five days after the release of Gibson's precise post-mortem sketch, Riley's grandmother in Ohio recognized the sweet face and contacted police.

So my hope is that, like Riley Ann Sawyer, some concerned family member, who like Riley's grandmother, mightn't see the child enough to notice that she is not longer around, and this little girl can too have a name, and be brought home and given a decent burial."


But there doesn't seem to be any swift ending for this little girl's suffering, even after death. Three weeks after she was found in a thrash bag along the Boston Harbor shoreline, Baby Doe, as she is now known, is still pretty much an enigma.
And now ktla.com is reporting that the child may have been poisoned before her death.

“She was discarded by someone, and the indignity of it has really struck a chord with all Bostonians and all New Englanders,” Suffolk County District Attorney Dan Conley told CNN. “And we have tried very, very hard to identify who she is and how this could have come to pass.”

He continued: “The body had no obvious signs of violent trauma, so we’re looking at a possibility of a poisoning. It could have been accidental, for example. I don’t know the answer to that,” Conley said. “But that’s why we appeal to the caregivers, the parents. Please step forward. Clear your conscience. No child, no person, deserves to be discarded like this.”
Authorities are awaiting the results of toxicology tests to determine whether the girl was poisoned or ingested drugs before her death, Conley said.
According to CNN, on Monday, officials said some results came back and show she did not ingest bleach or drain cleaner.

It’s unclear how long she had been dead, but there was a modest amount of decomposition when her remains were removed from the trash bag she was found in, according to Conley.
