It’s a missing child case with a difference.
It’s a nightmare discovery you’d never expect to find on your morning walk: The body of a little girl, wrapped in zebra-print blanket inside plastic bag.
The horror find, made by a woman walking her dog on the beach on 25 June in Boston Harbour, Massachusetts, sparked an investigation that has captured the imagination of people around the world.
Bizarrely, authorities have no clue who the little girl is, where she came from — or even whether her death is accidental, after a post-mortem examination found no signs of trauma and failed to establish a cause of death.
While police have revealed that she was dressed in polka-dot leggings when found, weighed almost 14kg and was just over one metre tall, they refuse to say how long she may have been dead and whether she washed up on the beach or was left there, News Ltd reports.
