FBI officials in Houston today made a plea for help in solving the 2003 case of a boy found dead in a southeast apartment trash bin.
The child, nicknamed "Beloved Doe," is believed to have died of starvation and dehydration. Just 21 pounds, the boy had a surgical scar on his abdomen, indicating that he received medical care. He wore a diaper adorned with bears and had been wrapped in a blanket before being stuffed inside a red and white zippered bag.
The FBI is offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to his identity and Crime Stoppers of Houston is offering $5,000.
The previous release of composite sketches never resulted in an identity for the dark-haired boy, believed to be Hispanic and between the ages of 3 and 6 years old.
Federal investigators were asked to step in after efforts of Houston Police and Texas Rangers never resulted in an identity for the boy.
A maintenance worker found the boy's body with garbage at the Willow Creek Apartments at 7575 Office City Drive near the Gulf Freeway and South Loop on the morning of March 13, 2003.
By the time "Beloved Doe" was laid to a proper rest in July 2004, he'd been nicknamed "Amado Angelito," or "Beloved little angel" in Spanish.
Federal investigators hope national media attention for two children found dumped recently in Galveston will ignite new interest in this boy's case.
