Candlelight Vigil to Be Held for ‘Baby Doe' on Deer Island in Boston

A candlelight vigil for "Baby Doe" will be held on Saturday, July 25 at 7:30 p.m. on Deer Island, according to Massachusetts State Police. 

The vigil is being held to honor the life of "Baby Doe" in addition to raising awareness in the community.

Massachusetts investigators are hoping more advanced DNA testing technology can help them identify the little girl whose body was found on the shores of Boston Harbor last month.

The girl's DNA has already been sent to databases for missing children, but no match has been found.

A computer-generated image of the girl's face has been placed on dozens of billboards statewide.

The girl's remains were found June 25 by a dog walker. She is believed to have been about 4 years old. 

Authorities are providing the public with two ways to provide investigators with information in the ongoing efforts to identify the girl.

The public can text tips, which will remain anonymous, by texting 67283 with the keyword GIRL.

There is also a new 24-hour tip line: (617) 396-5655.

The case has generated intense interest online, with more than 53 million Facebook users viewing an initial computer-generated photo showing what the child is believed to have looked like.

A public Facebook event page has been established.
