The FBI and other law enforcement officials continue to investigate the unsolved murder of a little girl who was found dead in a dumpster in Gloucester County, New Jersey, 38 years ago.

On the morning of December 4, 1986, the remains of a newborn baby were found in a dumpster behind a shopping center at Ganttown Road and Rt. 42 in Washington Township, New Jersey. The child weighed about seven pounds and had dark hair and brown eyes. It was found in a silver plastic trash bag wrapped in a beach towel with a picture of the African Plains.

Jacobs, special agent in charge of the FBI Philadelphia. “This case shows that no matter how much time passes; We continue to seek justice for the victims.”
