£50,000 Reward for Mystery Baby Ava's Identity
20 Nov
Summary
- A £50,000 reward is offered for information identifying Baby Ava.
- The child was discovered in Salford, Greater Manchester last year.
- Distinctive women's underwear found with the baby is a key clue.
A significant £50,000 reward is now available for any information that can shed light on the identity of Baby Ava, a child whose remains were found in a snow-covered park in Salford, Greater Manchester, one year ago. Despite a year of relentless investigation by Greater Manchester Police, the identity of the baby girl and the circumstances surrounding her death remain unknown.
The investigation has focused on several unique clues, most notably a pair of distinctive ladies' large underwear found wrapped around the baby's body. These briefs, featuring a cartoon donkey pattern and not manufactured in the UK, are believed to potentially belong to the mother. While a male DNA profile was extracted from the fabric, it has not yet yielded viable leads.
Authorities are appealing directly to Baby Ava's parents, acknowledging the immense difficulty of their situation and offering support. The reward, funded by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, underscores the commitment to finding answers and bringing closure to this deeply affecting case. Police continue to pursue all avenues, including increased presence in the area and reviewing extensive evidence, to identify Ava and understand how she came to be in Ashtons Field.
