Millions share story of Baby Doe found dead in Boston Harbour

The image has attracted a staggering 45 million views on Facebook as investigators try to identity the child whose remains were found on a Boston Harbour beach nearly two weeks ago.

The mystery of Baby Doe began on June 25, when a woman walking her dog on the western shore of Deer Island called 911 and reported finding a trash bag containing the girl's body. The child was wearing white leggings with black polka dots. Inside the bag with her remains was a zebra-print blanket.

State police spokesman David Procopio tells The Boston Globe that people have provided information on other missing children, too.

Officials released the image Thursday in an attempt to generate clues about the girl's identity, which remains unknown.

Officials believe the brown-haired, brown-eyed girl was about 4 years old. Her body was found June 25 on Deer Island inside a plastic bag that also contained a black and white zebra-print blanket.
