San Diego County Crime Stoppers, along with investigators from
the San Diego Police Department’s Homicide Unit, are asking for
the public’s help in finding out what happened to Baby Doe.
On May 4, 2004 two hikers found skeletal remains on a hiking
trail in Rancho Bernardo. Forensic testing indicates the remains
are that of a 2 to 4-year-old boy probably born sometime between
1999 and 2001. Baby Doe’s features are consistent with being
mostly Caucasian and is believed to have had light to medium
brown hair.
Additionally, isotopic testing indicates it is likely that Baby
Doe was born on the mainland United States. During a portion of
her pregnancy, Baby Doe’s mother likely resided in the
Southeastern region of the United States where Baby Doe may have
spent his first year of life before migrating westward toward
California.
The image above of Baby Doe was developed by a forensic artist
with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The
clothing items featured were found with Baby Doe.
Anyone with information on what happened to Baby Doe is asked to
call the SDPD Homicide Unit at (619) 531-2293 or the Crime
Stoppers anonymous tip line at (888) 580-8477. Visit the Crime
Stoppers website at www.sdcrimestoppers.org for more information
on how to send anonymous web and mobile app tips. Detectives are
asking for information that helps identify Baby Doe and/or his
biological parents and information that also helps detectives
figure out what happened to Baby Doe. A reward of up to $1,000
is being offered if information provided leads to a felony
arrest.
