A swarm of cops and volunteers came up empty Friday after hours spent combing a neighborhood for clues as to the identity of a toddler found dead in a trash bin nearby.
As medical examiners tried to determine how the girl died and scrutinized her clothing for evidence, residents of The Fountains at Villa Cordova apartments, near Sahara and Eastern avenues, expressed dismay at the callous method used to dispose of her body in their complex.
By Friday afternoon, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children was preparing a manipulated photograph of the dead child's face to make it appear she was alive in hopes of turning up more leads. Authorities planned to distribute the image on posters and put it on a mobile billboard to be set up in the area.
Based on the time frame for when trash haulers emptied the bin, police presume the body was dumped between Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning. The girl had not been dead for long when she was discovered, Simpson said.
