This case seems to be related and seems to show the mother of the girl identified as NV in the court docs giving explaination of what her alibi was and why she didn’t come forward. It’s quite suspect to hear. Take a read!

Thank you so much for finding and posting the canlii link. It clears up so many mysteries.

Neveah’s remains were wrapped in a baby blanket, a garbage bag and then a colourful fabric. I think those items might lead back to the mother, imo. In the canlii document it said that Neveah was found with her favourite blanket. (My guess is the blanket with butterflies). I had the impression a mother had wrapped her remains and now I think that more than ever.
I don’t see strangers taking the effort to wrap the remains with care the way Neveah was, imo. And then taking the huge risk of moving the remains from where they had been stored only to place them in a private dumpster on someone’s driveway.

'For 14 months, she was a ghost.
No name. No story. Not even a missing person’s report.
And so she was defined by a contractor’s unthinkable discovery on a cloudy spring day in 2022, in one of Toronto’s richest postal codes, steps from some of the city’s most lavish homes. There, wrapped in blankets and placed in a cherry red disposal bin, were the decomposed remains of a child.
The girl in the Rosedale dumpster.'

Can anyone with a subscription let us know if there's any new information? There's a paywall for me, and buying a hard copy from Australia isn't really a practical option.

Can anyone with a subscription let us know if there's any new information? There's a paywall for me, and buying a hard copy from Australia isn't really a practical option.

When the police first identified her, they said that genetic genealogy and a well timed, but not specific, tip let them narrow it down to her quickly. The article explains what it was:

“As months passed, the genealogy research uncovered leads, including a clue to her heritage, indicating she was of Jamaican descent. It also produced a long list of distant relatives. From there, genealogists would build out family trees containing scores of relatives in an attempt to zero in on a child who fit the girl’s description. That work can take a year or longer.

Then came a tip. Someone, finally, had recognized the blankets.

The tip did not directly identify the girl. But it provided the surname of the family the caller suspected could be involved — a family name that was already on the list of relatives generated through the genealogy research.
“Putting those two things together really started to fuel the belief, at that point, that we knew who we were looking for,” Smith said.”

“A critical fact went unsaid as Neveah was identified to the world.

Far from a mystery child — an undocumented immigrant, or a new arrival in Canada, as authorities first theorized — Neveah had, for most of her life, been in the care of the province’s child protection agencies. She was far from untraceable.

After police blasted out the sketch of Neveah and her approximate age and ethnicity, she should have been identifiable to those directly involved in her care, Irwin Elman, who served as Ontario’s Child Advocate from 2008 to 2019, told the Star.

“How is it possible that nobody in the Children’s Aid would read the newspaper, see the picture … even circulate the picture among staff and foster parents and say, ‘Do we know this girl? Do we know this blanket? Are we concerned?’”

“If (CAS) did not know, that is either incompetence or it’s obstruction — that they knew and didn’t say,” he said.”

That's pretty damning. I'd be surprised if there aren't internal investigations. This was a known, at risk, vulnerable child, placed with a parent who had not shown in any significant way that she had changed and could provide a safe, loving environment. There should have been regular check ins, even with COVID.

MOO

It sounds like the police are in the frustrating position of knowing her mom’s Tim Hortons story is obviously not true, but they lack the evidence to move on charges of any kind - there’s no evidence that isn’t what happened, and they don’t have a cause of death. The worst part is that that evidence might have been available had the fact she was missing been flagged soon.

Really a damning report for the CAS.
