BOSTON — Massachusetts police have identified the 4-year-old girl whose body was found stuffed in a trash bag on a beach in Boston Harbor in June, local media reported Friday, citing unnamed law-enforcement sources.
Police also have searched an area home in conjunction with the investigation, Boston’s WHDH television said.
A spokesman for Suffolk County prosecutors said the “investigation remains very active” but declined to provide details.
The remains were found stuffed in a trash bag on June 25 by a woman who was walking her dog. Police in July launched a billboard campaign featuring a computer-generated image of what the girl may have looked like in life, in hopes of generating leads on her identity.
