Are you, or is some one you know, missing a young friend or family member?
Detectives have named a girl found decomposing in a box "Baby Grace," KPRC Local 2 reported Thursday.
A fisherman found the girl on a marshy, grassy island near Green's Cut, about five miles west-southwest of the Galveston Causeway late Monday.
The blue utility box contained the body of a 2 to 5-year-old girl. She had been wrapped in plastic bags, officials said. Investigators said she had been dead for "several weeks," but did not know how long she had been inside the box.
Investigators said they have focused on missing person cases in both state and nationwide databases, searching for similarities.
"Someone is missing this child," Galveston County Medical Examiner Dr. Stephen Pustilnik said. "There is a grandparent who hasn't seen their grandchild in the last couple of weeks. There's a playmate who's missing their playmate and hasn't seen them for a while. There's an aunt, there's an uncle someplace -- maybe locally, maybe somewhere in this state, maybe somewhere around this nation."
Because Galveston is a tourist destination, "Baby Grace" could be from anywhere, detectives said.
Investigators said she had blonde hair to the middle of her back. She was nearly 3 feet tall and weighed 25 to 30 pounds.
She was wearing a pink pullover top and a pink broom skirt. Both were the Cherokee brand from Target. She also wore white and purple tennis shoes that were children's size 8 1/2 and purchased at Wal-Mart.
I can think of many reasons not to report a missing child, but vanishingly few of them are acceptable to me.
For some reason whe I saw this article all I could think of is the lyris to Turn Around
"Where are you going my little one, little one
Where are you going my baby, my own ?..." and the though of this child- yes I know among millions- not growing up brought tears to my eyes.
Thought I know that it may not be, I hope some oneout there is wondering where Grace is.
