Eleven years after a woman in Brantford, Ont. came across the body of a dead baby, police are still trying to identify the infant.

Margaret Littlewood was walking her dog near Lansdowne Park just off of Parkside Drive on July 28, 2005, when she came across the body of a newborn.

Littlewood ran home to fetch her daughter Wendy Reeves to confirm that the body she found was real and not that of a doll.

Brantford police investigators named the infant Baby Parker, as a nod to the location of the grim discovery.

Medical examiners discovered that the baby had suffered injuries to his head and ribs, but were unable to determine exactly what happened to him. He was also found to be both drug and alcohol free.

Police focused on investigating teens in the area, and asked them to provide handwriting samples. Reeves’ own teenage daughter was also asked to provide a handwriting sample.

Investigators eventually released excerpts of a letter written by someone claiming to be Baby Parker's mother. The full letter was released last year.

The letter writer said she had sex with other teens in the neighbourhood and got pregnant from one of the encounters. She wrote that she went into labour while in Lansdowne Park, with a friend helping her give birth. She said her friend told her the baby was dead when it was born, leading them to dispose of the body in the park.

She begged police not to seek DNA samples from any of the boys in the neighbourhood in an effort to spare the father of the baby from discovering what had happened.

The letter writer also promised to turn herself into police within a week. That was 11 years ago and police say no one has yet come forward.

Brantford Police Const. Laura Collier says police have now been able to identify fingerprints from the letter, but have yet to match that or DNA samples to anyone.

"Which indicates to us that the mother had no involvement and has had no involvement in the criminal justice system either before the birth or since that time," Collier told CTV Kitchener.

Police are hoping that someone will eventually come forward to help identify Baby Parker and determine what happened to him.

Littlewood and Reeves say they feel a connection to the baby they discovered on a summer day 11 years ago. They journey to the Mount Hope cemetery every year on the day they discovered him to place an angel figurine on his grave.

"We just want him to be remembered, and we just felt he was really left alone," Reeves says.
