The search continued Monday for the mother of a baby girl whose body was found at a regional recycling facility in Rochester, Massachusetts, last week.
The mother is believed to have been on Martha's Vineyard — the girl's remains were discovered Thursday in trash at Zero Waste Solutions in Rochester that appeared to have come from Martha's Vineyard, state police said over the weekend. Officials have asked for help finding the mother, and on Monday Cape and Islands District Attorney Robert J. Galibois released a new statement saying,"while there is no threat to the general public, the investigation to date suggests that the health and welfare of the mother may be at risk. Identifying her as soon as possible is of paramount importance and urgency."Get New England news, weather forecasts and entertainment stories to your inbox.
