Detectives from the New Jersey State Police and Monmouth County
Prosecutor’s Office are hopeful a composite sketch of a
full-term, newborn infant, whose remains were discovered among
trash at a recycling center in Farmingdale, Monmouth County,
will help identify her mother. Two blood-stained blouses, and a
bag from a retail store area in Orange, New Jersey were found
near the remains. The old blouses had no tags, but their size
could be characterized as petite to medium. Both the clothing
and the bag are believed to be connected with the mother of the
infant.

Emma Grace
Emma Grace was the nickname given to a newborn found decapitated
in a recycling facility in 2014. Despite this, authorities
emphasize that the girl's official cause of death remains
undetermined.
Case
The child had been born alive and took at least one breath
before she died. A composite of her mother was created in 2017
based on DNA. The mother's DNA indicated she was predominately
Hispanic, of Central an South American descent.

New Jersey Police Trying to Identify Decapitated Baby Found in
Trash
New Jersey State Police
Tara Fowler
April 20, 2015 12:10 PM
Authorities are asking for help in identifying a baby girl who
was found decapitated in the trash at a Farmingdale, New Jersey,
recycling center in November.
Police have released a sketch of the child, whose head was
discovered separately in the same recycling center, according to
Reuters. They hope to identify the child’s mother.
An autopsy did not help determine the infant’s manner of death,
CBS News reports, though police did say she was not a stillborn.
Two bloody blouses and a bag from Orange, New Jersey – more than
50 miles to the north – were also discovered along with the
infant’s body. Police believe the clothing and the bag may
belong to the child’s mother.
“There has been no evidence at this time to point to the mother
being a victim of foul play, although the possibility has not
been ruled out,” state police said, according to PIX 11.
Monmouth County Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to
$5,000 for information leading to the identification of the
baby’s mother. Anonymous tipsters can call 1-800-671-4400, text
”MONMOUTH” plus the tip to 274637, or email a tip at
viawww.monmouthcountycrimestoppers.com.

Composite of Mother’s Face
12/20/2017 - 1:46pm

A screenshot from a video stream of a press conference at the
Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office, regarding the
newly-released composite of the mother of a baby found dead and
decapitated in the county in 2014.
The newborn baby had taken at least one breath—but not many more
than that—in November 2014, before her little body was abandoned
at a recycling facility in central New Jersey. The decapitated
little girl’s remains provided few clues, since she was so new
to the world. But detectives from the New Jersey State Police
and the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office quickly discovered a
handbag and two bloodstained blouses nearby, which they
forensically determined to be the mother’s clothing.
Now they have used a popular phenotyping service employed by a
growing number of local law enforcement agencies to reconstruct
what that mother may look like, based on the DNA she left behind
at the scene.
Detectives are now hoping for nothing less than a “holiday
miracle,” three years after the tiny remains were discovered in
Farmingdale, N.J.

Parabon NanoLabs, a Virginia-based DNA phenotyping company,
which uses DNA profiles to generate composite facial likenesses,
estimated what the mother would look like: likely a Latina woman
who had Central or South American ancestry, according to
authorities.
“It’s certainly not a perfect science—but it’s a best estimate
based on the DNA pulled from these clothing items that were
recovered,” said Christopher Gramiccioni, the Monmouth County
Prosecutor. “Keep in mind – this is not a photograph. It’s a
predictive composite.”
The baby was found at the ReCommunity Recycling facility on
Railroad Avenue on Nov. 11, 2014, by an employee who was moving
trash.
Authorities maintain, despite the decapitation, that there is no
evidence of foul play—and the cause and manner of death have not
been determined.
The two bloody blouses and the handbag provided some clues
pointing to a small city outside Newark, about 50 miles north.
The shirts were bought at the Rainbow clothing store on Main
Street, and the handbag was from a “Wiz” store a few doors down.
(A manager at Rainbow told Forensic Magazine he was not aware of
his store’s connection to the death investigation. The other
store has since permanently closed, and the telephone number is
disconnected).
The little baby’s entry in the National Missing and Unidentified
Persons System provides a few details. Despite the decapitation,
all the body parts were found. The blouses had no tags, but were
sized petite to medium. A forensic sketch artist from the New
Jersey State Police drew a picture in 2015 of what the baby
would have looked like during her short life.
Investigators have been told by an FBI profiler that, if the
mother was responsible for putting the baby's body in a
Dumpster, she may have been trying to hide her pregnancy,
authorities said. She may have resumed her normal routine after
disposing of the child, they added.
"After delivery of the baby, the mother may have resumed some of
her normal activities without showing any obvious signs of
having recently given birth,' said John McCabe, the chief of
detectives for the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office.
But the mother may also be a victim in all this - although there
is no evidence pointing toward foul play against her, they
added.

The Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office paid for the Parabon DNA
predictive work from its forfeiture fund, authorities said at
the press conference.
“At this point, this is an easy expenditure for us,” said
Gramiccioni. “It’s a no-brainer.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Det. Sgt. Joseph
Itri of the New Jersey State Police Homicide South Unit at (609)
963--6993 or Detective Brian Weisbrot of the Monmouth
Prosecutor's Major Crimes Bureau. A $5,000 reward is also
offered for information leading to an arrest through Monmouth
County Crime Stoppers at (800) 671-4400. Tips can be given
anonymously.
Steve Armentrout, CEO of Parabon, said the unknown deceased baby
cases have been on the increase recently.
“In Baby Doe cases, it can be difficult for investigators to
generate leads on the parents of the baby," he said. "Even when
DNA from the mother is found, it is less likely to already be in
CODIS than a typical crime scene DNA sample. Snapshot can help
investigators narrow their focus in such cases. The frequency
with which we are being asked to work such cases has increased
markedly in the past year.”
Parabon predictions have produced some successes in recent cases
where just a general appearance has helped guide investigators.
For instance, a North Carolina double homicide in 2012 was
solved because the computer-generated face led to further
genetic investigation of a man close to the case who had not
even known who his true father was. In Massachusetts, a
25-year-old rape and murder was solved because the facial
composite helped detectives narrow down a large pool of
suspects, they said in September. Most recently, a murder from
last year was solved when a Parabon image prompted a Texas man
to confess to his church congregation last month that he was the
killer.
However, DNA phenotyping technology (not just Parabon's
Snapshot) has faced scrutiny for its limitations and skepticism
about its accuracy and usefulness. Studies examining the
techniques have found limitations in its ability to assuredly
predict some features, including eye colors beyond blue and
brown, and hair color, which it can predict with about 75
percent accuracy, according to a report in the journal Cell.
