Can you help to identify the Boston Harbor "Baby Grace"?

Boston MA: According to wtnh.com, authorities have released a computer-generated image of a young girl found dead last week inside a plastic bag along a Boston Harbor shoreline and are hoping it generates clues about her identity.

District Attorney Daniel Conley said at a news conference Thursday  that the girl’s identity and how she died remain mysteries.
They also added that they believe that she had not been in the water too long a time.
Officials believe the brown-haired, brown-eyed girl was about 4 years old. She stood about 3 1/2-feet tall and weighed about 30 pounds.
Her body was found June 25 inside a bag that also contained a black and white zebra-print blanket. (Pic below.)

"Authorities believe the blanket may have been special to the girl," the Suffolk District Attorney's Office stated in a release Thursday.

Tipsters may contact the Suffolk County State Police Detective Unit at 617-727-8817, the State Police Communications Section at 508-820-2121, or Winthrop Police tip line at 617-539-5806.






Do you know this beautiful little girl! Four year old girl's don't just turn up missed, and dead, and nobody knows them Unless of course, and this is purely hypothetical due to the circumstances, certain family members don't want her to be found.

The sketched version of "Baby Grace"
 Remember the sad case of Baby Grace? Or Riley Ann Sawyer, to give her her given name. Her parents beat her death, dumped her in the sea, because they never wanted her body to be found. Four months later she washed up, and the issuing of  sketches, of  what she looked like, much like in the present case, led to an identification.


Riley Ann Sawyer, 2, before her murder
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.


 Again, if you have any information, however small it might seem, please use the following contact number:
Tipsters may contact the Suffolk County State Police Detective Unit at 617-727-8817, the State Police Communications Section at 508-820-2121, or Winthrop Police tip line at 617-539-5806.


Edited to add: I found this lovely, but very sad Facebook page, that deals with incidents like this.
