NYPD are making a renewed push to find the killer of a
toddler dubbed "Baby Hope," whose body was found inside a cooler
dumped in a wooded area in Manhattan 22 years ago Tuesday.
Authorities are circulating new posters and an NYPD Crime
Stoppers van is in Washington Heights, publicizing the $12,000 reward and and
asking for anyone with information to call 1-800-577-TIPS.
The child, who was never identified, was believed to be 3 to
5 years old, and was found by construction workers on July 23, 1991 along the
Henry Hudson Parkway and Dyckman Street.
She was never reported missing by family, and reports at the
time said she had been starved and sexually abused. The National Missing and
Unidentified Persons System database lists her as weighing 25 pounds and being
3 feet, 2 inches tall.
She was bound and her hair was in a ponytail with a yellow
elastic.
Police say the cooler could have been placed there anytime
between July 13 and July 22.
