Photo Released Of Baby Found In Dumpster

LAS VEGAS -- Las Vegas Metro police released a photograph of a baby found in a trash bin Thursday, with hope that someone can identify the girl or come forward to take responsibility in the case.

The little girl was found by a man going through the trash at the La Mesa Apartments near Swenson Street and Sierra Vista Drive.

She was wrapped in a sheet, wearing only a diaper. Police believe the girl is between 18 and 24 months old.

While releasing a photograph is controversial, it is not unusual in cases similar to this one. Police have questioned residents in the apartment complex and said Wednesday that surveillance video from the nearby Convention Center could also provide clues to the baby’s identity.
