Case History
This unidentified child was discovered in the morning hours of
The child had been wrapped in a gray colored afghan style blanket and placed in a red and white checkered bag, then thrown into the dumpster. He was discovered by a maintenance man.
Authorities initially believed the child was 3 or 4 years old, but examination determined that the child was actually between four and five-years old.
The child was extremely skinny as he had been starved to death. As a result, he would have appeared very thin before his death.
Surgical-type scars on the boy's body suggest he had received medical care in the past, but police investigators and child advocates believe his family was later unable to seek such help for some reason.
Aside from acute malnutrition, an autopsy found no other signs of abuse or old injuries to the child's body. Despite the neglect, someone took the time to closely cut his hair with clippers and trim his nails before throwing his body away.
