the infant girl found dead Labor Day 2012 floating just south of Winona inside a bag in the Mississippi River. 2 tips came in over the weekend to the sheriff’s department. The Gopher State’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is looking into those leads.
The seven pound body was wrapped with a green T-shirt, encased in two brown plastic garbage bags and then placed inside a canvas tourist tote. Investigators named the child, Baby Angel, because of several glass angel figurines were found wrapped alongside the body.
