Local Police Need Help to Identify Body of Toddler Found Dead

Such a heartbreaking case out of Deer Island in Winthrop, Mass as police search for the identity of this little girl.

From Mass. State Police:

On June 25 of this year, the body of a deceased toddler-age girl was found on the western shore of Deer Island in Winthrop. State and local police and the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office continue to try to identify the girl, and are again making an appeal to the public for help. Today, we are releasing a computer-generated composite image of the girl prepared by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. This image depicts what the child may have looked like in life. We are also releasing images of the leggings she was wearing when found, which are white with black polka dots, and of a black and white zebra-stripe blanket found with the child’s body. The girl was approximately four years old at the time of her death, had brown eyes and brown hair, weighed about 30 pounds, and stood about 3½ feet tall.

According to the Boston Globe, investigators have received many tips pointing to the possibility that the remains are those of Ayla Reynolds, who went missing from her Maine home back in 2011. However, authorities say they do not believe the body found on Deer Island is that of Ayla.

To date, Mass State Police have received over 24.7 million views on their social media pages regarding this story. (Facebook, Twitter, Website)
