Bella Neveah Amoroso Bond〔〔 (August 18, 2012 - May or June 2015), previously known as the Deer Island Jane Doe and "Baby Doe",〔〔 was an American child that was found dead in a plastic bag on the shore of Deer Island in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts on June 25, 2015.〔 Authorities pursued investigation into discovering the child's identity, and all efforts had been unsuccessful until September 2015 and she remained an unidentified decedent. The girl's face was reconstructed by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in an effort to provide the public with an estimation of the victim's appearance during life to generate tips to a potential identity and to locate the individual or individuals responsible for the disposal of her body.〔 Since the reconstruction was released and news coverage began nationwide a large amount of public attention has emerged; an estimated 56 million people have viewed reports on the case.〔〔〔 Half of these had occurred within the first week after the body was found.〔 Bond was identified on September 18, 2015.〔〔 After the arrest of Bond's mother and her mother's boyfriend, authorities confirmed that Bella had been murdered, despite the fact that an initial autopsy performed on the body did not uncover the exact cause of death.〔〔〔〔 Investigation is continuing toward solving the case, as the boyfriend of the victim's mother is charged with her murder and her mother has been charged as an "accessory after the fact."〔〔 ==Discovery== The child's body was discovered on the afternoon of June 25, 2015, inside a plastic garbage bag on the shoreline of Deer Island in Boston, Massachusetts by a woman walking her dog, who had stopped upon finding the bag. After the body was found, the public placed a series of flowers near the scene. She wore only a pair of white leggings designed with a black polka-dot pattern. A zebra-print blanket was also inside the bag.〔〔 Initially, police were unsure if there would be additional bodies at the scene, so cadaver dogs were used to locate any other possible remains, which were not found.〔 The girl was estimated by authorities to have died recently, within days of her discovery. Despite the fact that she was deceased a short amount of time, she had already begun to decompose and was impossible to identify visually, as bloating was observed on the body.〔 Investigators were able to conclude that she was a young child but were initially unsure of her race and ethnicity.〔〔 The circumstances were previously unknown of how the remains had settled at the location, as the body was thought either to have been placed at the beach or drifted in the water from another location, some presuming from as far as Canada. The beach is near a waste-water treatment plant.〔 The United States Coast Guard entered the investigation and analyzed the currents of the water in the area to estimate where the bag containing the remains could have originated from. Dive teams were also used around the time the body was discovered.〔 Authorities now believe the victim had been placed at the scene, rather than washing onto Deer Island from another location, as the body was not in an advanced enough stage of decomposition.〔 One of the investigators also states that there is also a possibility that the disposal may have been performed by an employee of the water treatment plant that the body was found near.〔 As the area has been regarded as a "busy" area for both workers and the public, it is possible that the bag was placed at the scene overnight, to prevent the individual from being seen. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bella Bond murder case」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
