Reward doubled for information in Baby Jane Doe case
Manchester Police said Tuesday a reward for information leading to a breakthrough in the case of an infant girl found dead and discarded in a local pond last month has been doubled. The Manchester Crimeline reward for information in the Baby Jane Doe investigation has jumped from $2,500 to $5,000, city police said in a statement. Manchester Police Chief Peter Marr has said investigators believe the baby was left in Pine Island Pond between Tuesday, March 25, and Thursday, March 27. Police and firefighters were called to an area near Pine Island Park, off of Brown Avenue, around 4 p.m., on Thursday, March 27, to investigate reports of an object seen floating in the water. That's when the baby girl's body was recovered from the icy waters. 'A thorough autopsy was conducted the next day, which revealed certain relevant information, and additional tests are ongoing,' Marr said earlier this month during a press conference at Pine Island Park, located a short walk from the pond. 'We cannot release further details about that, and we are still treating this case as a suspicious death investigation.' The identity of the baby and her parents remain unknown, according to police. The Attorney General's Office also has been involved in the investigation. Anyone with information is encouraged to call a dedicated tip line at 603-716-7236. Tips and related information can also be provided anonymously via the Manchester CrimeLine at 603-624-4040 or uploaded anonymously at Photo submissions are welcome as well.

Manchester police narrow down when newborn's body may have been placed in water at park
Police in Manchester, New Hampshire said they have narrowed down the timeline for when the body of a newborn girl may have been placed in the water at a park last week. The newborn baby girl was found floating in the water off of Brown Avenue at Pine Island Park on Thursday at around 4 p.m. Police were called to the scene after getting a 911 call about an object floating in the water. Investigators now believe the baby was placed in the water sometime between Tuesday, March 25 and Thursday, March 27, when she was found. They said this is important in helping them track down the baby's mother. The baby's death is unknown at this point but police are calling her death suspicious. Her identity has not been released. Police have also announced a $2,500 cash reward for any information that helps them solve this case. They said they've received more than 50 tips already and they're hoping for more. "We're looking for information from anybody who may have seen somebody discarding an object into the water between March 25 and March 27," said Manchester Police Chief Peter Marr. "If anyone has photographs or videos taken at Pine Island Park and Pine Island Pond during that time, we ask that you send those to us. We're also still requesting information about anyone who was pregnant during that timeframe who is no longer pregnant and does not have a newborn baby with them." Police are asking for anyone with any information to call them at 603-716-7236 or anonymously via the Manchester CrimeLine at 603-624-4040. Tips and photos can also be submitted anonymously to the Crimeline website .
