ARCHIVED - Appeal for public help tracing mother of baby found dead at Cadiz waste plant
The lifeless newborn was discovered at a waste depot in Los Barrios in Andalusia
Police have issued a desperate appeal for help in finding the mother of a baby whose lifeless body was discovered by an employee at a waste plant in Los Barrios in Cadiz two weeks ago.
Cadiz falls under the jurisdiction of Algeciras where the Guardia Civil has been leading the investigation since the newborn was found on June 7, and is now calling for public collaboration to obtain new information.
Two major obstacles are currently hampering police enquiries.
Firstly, it's believed the baby was not born at a health centre or hospital and the "white mother" didn't follow normal Andalusian Health Service 'pregnancy protocols' as there is no record of the birth, according to the Guardia.
Secondly, the landfill where the baby was found collects waste from all the towns in Campo de Gibraltar, as well as Ceuta and Gibraltar itself, which "makes it difficult to locate the mother of the child due to the wide search range".
"We are hoping that members of the public can provide new information to help locate a white woman who was in an advanced state of pregnancy at the end of May and who does not currently have any babies in her care," said police.
Anybody who thinks they can help is asked to call 690 628 388 or email: ca-cmd-algeciras-pj@guardiacivil.org. All information will be handled discreetly and anonymity is guaranteed.
