Deer Island 'Baby Doe' Featured On Redesigned Mass. Billboards
BOSTON (CBS) -- Officials have released a redesigned digital highway billboard that will be displayed across the state in the hopes someone will be able to identify the girl, referred to as "Baby Doe," who was found dead on Deer Island in late June.
A total of 84 MassDOT-permitted billboards in 50 different locations will feature the computer-generated image of Baby Doe, as well as a photo of the leggings she was wearing, State Police announced Tuesday.
The billboards, which will be on display through October, will also have a new headline that reads "Remember me? Then please tell the police!"
A woman walking her dog spotted the girl in a trash bag along the western shore of the island in Winthrop on June 25.
She was wearing white leggings with black-and-white polka dots and was found with a zebra-print fleece blanket.
Investigators believe the girl was about 4 years old, had brown eyes, brown hair, weighed about 30 pounds, and stood about 3½ feet tall.
A cause of death has not been determined.
Hundreds of leads have been looked into, and investigators have coordinated well-being checks on children throughout the state, as well as in nearly three dozen other states and several countries.
Police have ruled out more than 200 girls as being Baby Doe.
A range of forensic testing, including tests on pollen found on the girl's hair and clothing and testing oxygen ratios in isotopes in her hair and teeth, have been completed or are in the process of being completed, investigators say.
Anyone with information can text GIRL, followed by the tip to 67283.
