'Baby Doe' case update: State initiates new campaign to identify girl found in trash bag
On Tuesday, the state of Massachusetts revealed a new digital billboard that features the little girl whose body was found inside a trash bag on Deer Island on June 25.
Police say their main goal at the moment is to identify the girl they call "Baby Doe" as her identity is the biggest key into uncovering details about her death and who or what might be responsible for it.
The new billboard reads, "Remember Me? Then please tell the police!" According to WCVB TV, 84 billboards will display the number to be called, and the computer-generated image of the girl.

The Massachusetts State Police said in a statement that "The redesign is intended to help maintain the case's high public profile by presenting a fresh image to the tens of thousands of motorists who pass the billboards every day."
Almost three months after Baby Doe was discovered inside a trash bag by a woman walking her dog on the shores of Deer Island, the girl believed to be about 4 years old has not been identified.
In the past months, local police and detectives said they have worked on hundreds of tips suggesting possible matches for the girl not only in Massachusetts but also in 35 other states and some other unrevealed countries, following the previous testing results that reveal she could have been to other countries prior to her death.
While the computer-generated image suggests how Baby Doe might have looked like in real life, more than 200 girls have been ruled out as being the young girl.
Previously, pollen samples recovered from items inside the trash bag, including a zebra print blanket and a polka-dotted pair of leggings, reveal that the girl might have spent some time in the Boston area before her death.
Baby Doe's first photo released by local police has been viewed nearly 60 million times and has been shared by thousands of people also hoping to help in identifying the girl who needs to be named.
