Police in London are trying to find the parents of three babies who were abandoned shortly after birth. A reward of over $24,000 is being offered for information.
The most recent baby, named Elsa, was found a year ago, on January 18, 2024. Someone found her wrapped in a towel inside a shopping bag in East London. Thankfully, she was okay... Continue reading here ▶
Police discovered that Elsa is related to two other babies who were also abandoned in similar ways:
- A boy, named Harry, was found in a park in 2017.
- Another boy, named Roman, was found in a playground in 2019.
- DNA tests confirmed in April 2024 that these three babies are siblings.
Police have been investigating for six years, since Roman was found. They’ve watched hundreds of hours of security camera footage and have a DNA profile of the children’s mother. They believe the parents might live in the Plaistow or East Ham area of London.
The police are worried about the parents, especially the mother, and are asking for the public’s help. They think someone in the community must have known about the mother’s pregnancies.
They are asking anyone with any information, even if it seems small, to contact them. They assure people that they can easily rule out anyone who isn’t connected to the case.
They are especially asking people who work in healthcare, social care, schools, or charities to think back and see if they might have encountered the mother without realizing it at the time.
The police have confirmed that Elsa, Harry, and Roman are all doing well and are in good care. The investigation continues.
