Stuffed animals, drawings made by children, and rocks spelling out messages were just a few things FOX25's Catherine Parrotta observed on Wednesday morning.

This long article appeared on the Channel 5 website over the weekend. I think it might be from the Boston Globe originally but there's no credit or link. Lots of information about how the investigation has gone:

"On that 41st day, the results of the pollen analysis came back. Baby Doe had played among the pines and oaks of New England; she was dusted with traces of privet hedges and cedar-of-Lebanon, which are not native but are often planted in the suburbs. The soot mixed in with the pollen told investigators her surroundings were urban. Somewhere near Boston, they concluded."

There are not that many cedars of Lebanon around here. The only ones I know about are in Jamaica Plain at the Arboretum. I'm sure there are others, of course, but that means extremely local. https://goo.gl/maps/FoAXG
 
Prior testing of pollen samples recovered from the trash bag the girl was found in suggest she spent time in the Greater Boston area prior to her death. The girl's body did not show signs of advanced composition, suggesting that she died in the area rather than at a distant location.

don't know that I have ever seen the lack of advanced decomp confirmed before. Probably old news to you guys ;)

I wish these tests had revealed more :(

Memorial mass held on Beacon Hill for Baby Doe

BOSTON (MyFoxBoston.com) -- A memorial mass was held on Beacon Hill Wednesday to remember a little girl we have come to know as Baby Doe.

The state's most powerful political leaders, including the house speaker, governor and attorney general attended the service at the Paulist Center on Park Street.

Last month the remains of the child were found in a trash bag on Deer Island. Her identity is still a mystery.

"All of us are trying to find some solace, and I think today we did that," House Speaker Robert Deleo told FOX25.

His office organized the mass because he wanted to do something to show she is remembered.

Interesting. I wonder if the trash bags used at the park could match the bag Baby Girl was found in?

The three month-long search to determine the identity of Baby Doe ended Thursday when someone close to the child’s family reached out to police, according to law enforcement.


Officials say the tipster had noticed the child was missing, but each time person asked the Bella’s parents what happened, they replied that she had been taken away by the Department of Children and Families.

On Facebook, Rachelle Bond portrayed herself as a caring mother who doted on her daughter.


On August 18, 2014 Rachelle threw her a birthday party. The floor was strewn with mouth-blown balloons, while a couple of helium ones were tied to chairs. Gifts spilled onto the floor.


She got a Hello Kitty ice cream cake to boot.


“Come on, monkey,” Rachelle says in a video from the party. “Look what mama did while you were sleeping.”
