The grave of 'Baby Hope,' an unidentified girl whose body was found murdered in a picnic cooler 22 years ago, is adorned with flowers at St. Raymond Cemetery in New York, October 11, 2013. New York police have at last identified a little girl who was murdered, sexually abused and stuffed into a picnic cooler in Manhattan. She was found on July 23, 1991. New York police officials confirmed the identity of the girl's mother through DNA testing on October 8, 2013, and also identified the father. The family is Mexican and her mother was too frightened to come forward after her daughter's death, because her husband was abusive, local media reports said. The girl's father, who is believed to be either in New York or Mexico, is now the prime suspect. Baby Hope, two years after she was found, was laid to rest in a donated plot.
