BOSTON, July 2, 2015–Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F.

The composite image was created by forensic artists at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children working from multiple photographs of the child’s remains.  The child is believed to have been about 4 years old, weighed about 30 pounds, and stood about 3 1/2 feet tall. She had brown eyes and brown hair.   The image depicts her as she may have appeared in life.

Authorities also released images depicting two items found with the child’s body.  One is a pair of white leggings with black polka dots, size 4T and manufactured by Circo.  The other is a black and white zebra-print fleece blanket manufactured by Cannon.  Authorities belive the blanket may have been special to the girl.

The child’s body was discovered by a woman walking her dog along the western shore of Deer Island on the afternoon of June 25.  Since that time, State and local police have been trying to identify her through missing persons reports and appeals to the public; those efforts have not yet been successful.

“Who she is and where she’s from remain a mystery to us,” Conley said. “We urge anyone with any information on her identity to share it.”
