Has it been determined if this is the UID baby in this thread?! If not, it should have by now.
I believe that turned out to be unrelated.

Manhattan DA: Locked Phones Continue to Thwart Criminal Probes


One case where prosecutors believe a locked device holds crucial evidence is that of a 7-month-old baby found dead in the East River in August. The baby’s father, James Currie, was arrested and charged with concealment of a corpse. Prosecutors tried to access the father’s device but failed. They believe the evidence within could establish the time and manner of the baby’s death and lead to homicide charges.

A lawyer for Mr. Currie, who has pleaded not guilty, didn’t respond to a request for comment.
It looks like District Attorney Shawn McMahon
has nothing on this guy and he is using him to go to the paper and talk about him to boost his career

Wonder what circumstances were as far as the infant, was his death natural as I see the father seems to only be charged with concealment thus far.

Since I can not access the NY court site for his charges - if you noticed I have a note in there - that after autopsy more charges might be filed. So I'm not sure IF there were more charges filed - as in murder.
If you can find something - please post! TIA! :)

yes i did see your note, thanks. And no, I haven't seen anything further. Apparently no trauma evident, but I guess we will see!
