Police set to stop search for parents after three of their babies were abandoned in plastic bags on London's streets as the trail goes cold​

Three babies separately abandoned in plastic bags in freezing temperatures in near identical circumstances several years apart.

For years detectives have desperately tried to trace their mother after DNA tests revealed that incredibly all three children were siblings.

Now, as the two year anniversary approaches of the discovery of the last child Elsa, police are preparing to close the case.

It follows a unique investigation which has taken officers across Britain and abroad using familial DNA analysis to contact possible relatives.

Officers are ready to concede defeat after going to extraordinary lengths and exhausting hundreds of lines of inquiry, the Daily Mail can exclusively reveal.

I have a concern that the babies’ father may also be their grandfather.

I have a concern that the babies’ father may also be their grandfather.

Certainly not impossible, but if that is the case, I would expect that degree of inbreeding to be reflected at least as a possibility in the kids' DNA.

I suspect that the police have only ended the active search for these parents. With the children's DNA on databases, if either parent is arrested in future for any reason their DNA will be taken as a matter of course so these kids may well be identified in a few years.
