Case History
The victim was located November 4, 1999 on the bank of the Mississippi River, in the small boat harbor in Red Wing, MN.
She was named Jamie.
Another baby, located in 2003, is believed to be her brother. 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."
