Does Anyone Recognize This Child Known as Baby Grace?

Such a beautiful little girl ... I can't believe no one has come forward to identify her yet.

With the Port of Galveston and the Port of Houston in the vicinity, she could be from anywhere. Considering all the press coverage this case has received, I feel someone would have identified her by now if she was local.

Someone has to be missing this child. If it was a parent or caregiver who did this to her, there still had to be someone ... a grandparent, an aunt, an uncle who is missing her. Someone has to be looking for her.

But this child had only been dead for a couple of weeks before she was found.

She had scull fractures, but she was not sexually abused. It is all so bizarre.

I don't know exactly how they ruled out Maddie. Unless, it was the forensic dental examination that ruled the girl to be between 2 - 3 years old and Maddie is 4. I'm just speculating though.

What I heard on the evening news here, there are 3 women who have reported their daughters missing that fit Baby Grace's description. All 3 girls had been taken by their fathers. These women are from 3 different states, one being New York, I think one was Mississippi but I honestly can't remember all 3.

Raat ... I felt compelled to bring this to everyone's attention. It has been over a week, with a lot of media attention locally. However, the location where Baby Grace was found leaves it wide open to international possibilities. She could be from anywhere.

I am in hopes that someone will see her composite sketch and recognize her. Or maybe, know of someone who has a child that has not been in school, daycare or maybe just not around for several weeks. Something.

Kathleen,

She was lovely, and from what I've seen she appeared to be well cared for.

If I'm not mistaken, most little girls around her age that had been reported missing have been ruled out. I don't know the particulars or stats, but I will see if I can find info on that.

I do remember the Precious Doe case. I understand the father got the death penalty ... what about the little girl's mother?

susanclaire, thank you for understanding where I am coming from. I may not be able to do anything about ALL the missing children on this planet, but I will do the best I can one child at a time. If we all took the time to care, just one child at a time maybe, just maybe we COULD make a difference.

Oh, rottlady. This sickens me. The stepfather gets the death penalty and the mom cops a plea. He may have been the one who kicked the child, but the mother is the one who let her die THEN helped dispose of her little body. Her own mother!

It is VERY hard to understand. Being a mother myself, I don't get women who put men before their children. But, this was the ultimate betrayal.

We can never forget the children, but we have to take them one by one as they present themselves, especially if they are right here in our backyards.

Don't get desensitized people. Don't think just because the figures are overwhelming we can do nothing. Don't say in an essence, just deal with it ... that's just the way the world is today. I can't ... no I won't accept that.

I hope so too, Scott. It is baffling in this day and age no one has come forward as yet.

Thank you DebKee. It has become an epidemic, IMHO. Now we also have to worry about human trafficking as well. That's another can of worms I'd rather stay away from at this point in time.

It breaks my heart that "Baby Grace" has to be the poster child for missing children. I doubt our judicial system would ever give this little girl's assailants what they gave her. Not in a million years. That would be "cruel and inhumane" punishment ... emotionless as well. I have the sinking feeling someone this child loved and/or trusted did this to her. I could be wrong, but my gut tells me I am not.

Hi Vic! It's been a long time. I missed you ...

Hug them, cuddle them AND protect them. Oh shoot ... I'm at work and tears are rolling down my face.

AD ... that is very possible. I have thought of that maybe being the case as well.

Is there any data available where a mom/girlfriend and child have both been reported missing? Or, is there a wife/girlfriend and child who have gone on an "unexpected", extended vacation? There are so many variables. It is perplexing and extremely frustrating.

Frank,

I saw your heartfelt email earlier and it touched me.

Thank you so much for helping. We all know how the media can be after a week or so. The rest of us have to do our part to try and keep this child's story alive the best we can. Someone knows who this little girl is.

Thank you!!!!

Celestina, this is very difficult for me to think about as well. My being only 50 miles away AND the fact that I "know" has a lot to do with my participation and drive.

Thank you so much for posting here. You don't know how much that means to me. Think about it ... it may only take one person ... the right person to see this and make a difference. Thank you!
