MPD recently released this photo of a towel the infant was found wrapped in.
She was found on a doorstep the night of Jan. 15 and died shortly after. The night she was found was freezing cold. She is a black infant, believed to be approximately one month old.
MPD is conducting a full investigation surrounding her death and will determine if criminal conduct has taken place once the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner releases its report on the cause of death, Alder said.
