Greater Manchester Police are marking a month since the tragic discovery of Baby Ava’s remains by Ashtons Field, Little Hulton.
An investigation was immediately launched and has been ongoing ever since, trying to get answers for Ava.
Her cause of death remains unascertained, all possible lines of enquiry are being followed, and police are awaiting results from several specialist tests, which they hope may provide them with new avenues to explore.
More than 1,000 flyers appealing for information having been distributed to those living and working locally by the neighbourhood team in that time.
When police closed the scene, they wanted to make sure the tributes and gifts laid for Baby Ava from the community went to a good cause, and over the last few weeks, we’ve been out and about visiting different charities and care homes to donate these gifts.
Detective Chief Inspector Charlotte Whalley from the Major Incident Team said:
“The tributes to Baby Ava have now made their way to their forever homes, and we would like to thank the community who have come together and shown immense support for her and our officers who are investigating this case.
“We are still committed to establishing who Ava’s mum is and the full circumstances that led to her and Ava being separated.
“Our determination to get answers for Ava is unrelenting and will continue throughout the festive period and beyond. We ask anyone who may have information which could help us, no matter how small, to come forward to us, as this may provide the key to unlocking the investigation.”
