UPDATE: Girl has been identified https://missingpeople.ca/police-identify-girl-whose-remains-were-found-in-toronto-dumpster-last-year/
It’s been exactly one year since the remains of a little girl were found in a dumpster outside an under-construction house in Toronto’s affluent Rosedale neighbourhood and her identity is still unknown.
Investigators have interviewed people in the area of Dale Avenue, north of Castle Frank Station, since and made appeals to the public for information. They’ve released a description and composite sketch of the child and did genetic genealogy testing to see if her DNA was a match with any children reported missing across North America.
But the investigation remains unsolved.
At this point, Toronto police aren’t saying much and declined requests for an interview and a written update.
Now, community members are coming together to try to bring renewed attention to this mysterious case.
Rev. Daniel Cho, of the nearby Rosedale Presbyterian Church (RPC), said this tragedy has left people in the community with feelings of shock, horror, and sadness.
“Usually we assume that (the police) are going to catch whoever is responsible,” he told CP24.com during a recent interview. “(This little girl) is a ghost and she shouldn’t be.”
Cho, who was hired as the local church’s new minister just two weeks before the child’s remains were found and officially assumed his new role in July, said he knew from the day of the discovery that he wanted to do something special with his new congregation to honour her.
