I just heard about this tragic case. A newborn was found deceased in a remote part of Brantford and investigators are still trying to figure out who he is and who abandoned him. They actually received a letter from someone claiming to be the mother and she said that she will try to muster up the courage to identify herself. She never contacted again and ten years later, this mystery is still unsolved.

Case History
A woman walking her dog found a full-term newborn male infant wrapped in a towel in some brush by abandoned railway tracks in a remote area of Brantford near Parkside Drive and Dufferin Avenue.
The infant was born alive and police have not revealed the cause of death. A week after the baby was found, police received a hand-written letter from someone claiming to be the mother. She said she went into labour while partying in the area, and that she would be in further contact. However, police did not hear from her again.
The letter was sent for hand-writing analysis. A DNA profile has established that both the mother and father of the baby can be identified. The infant was about 89 per cent European and 11 per cent native and both parents would be Caucasian in appearance.
The infant was dubbed "Baby Parker" due to the location where he was found. Baby Parker was buried in the children's section of the Mount Hope Cemetery in Brantford.

Police are hoping that since the incident happened so long ago, the people who had been partying in the park might now come forward with more information.
The letter says the woman and her friend had to dispose with the afterbirth and coupled with the discovery of a bloody rag near a local home days later, the two likely would have returned to the party with blood on them, police say.
"If you were with a group of youths in any of the parks or local hang out spots several days prior to the discovery of the lifeless infant's body please come forward," a police statement reads. "You may hold key information without realizing the importance."
