Case History
The body of a newborn boy was found December 7, 2003 at the Florence Township Beach in Frontenac, Minnesota.

 The case may be related to the unidentified female infant found in Red Wing in 1999. According to reports, the two infants may have the same mother. Police believed the children had separate fathers.
Forensic artists from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children used photographs of the bodies and the infants' skull measurements to create composite drawings of what the babies might have looked like at the time of their deaths.
The clothing in the drawings is not connected to the investigation.
Authorities think the composites could help piece together a frustrating puzzle. Over the years they have had more than 100 leads, yet the investigations remain unsolved.
Investigators believed that the infants were born alive. Autopsies were never able to ascertain causes of death. Officials believe that mother of the children may have hidden the pregnancies and are probably familiar with the area.
After the discovery of the infants, a local couple paid to have them buried next to their own stillborn daughter, under headstones that read "God's Little Angel."
