Two months after the shocking discovery of an abandoned baby boy near Heathrow Airport, London police remain baffled as the infant's identity and the whereabouts of his mother continue to elude authorities.
The child, named Roman by hospital staff, was found alone in a park adjacent to Bedfont Road in Stanwell on March 17th. Despite extensive appeals and investigation efforts, detectives have hit repeated dead ends in their quest to uncover the truth behind this heartbreaking case.
A Community's Concern Grows
Local residents and child welfare advocates have expressed increasing concern for both the baby's wellbeing and that of his missing mother. Detective Constable David Breeze, leading the investigation, emphasised the urgency of the situation: "We're growing increasingly worried about Roman's mother. She may require medical attention or be in a vulnerable state herself."
The investigation has seen police comb through extensive CCTV footage from the surrounding area and conduct numerous house-to-house inquiries, yet crucial information about how Roman came to be alone in the park remains elusive.
The Discovery That Shocked a Neighbourhood
On that fateful Sunday afternoon, emergency services rushed to the scene after receiving reports of an unaccompanied infant. Roman, estimated to be around one year old, was immediately transported to hospital for examination.
Medical professionals confirmed the child was in good health despite his ordeal, though authorities remain deeply troubled by the circumstances surrounding his abandonment.
Appeal for Information Intensifies
Police have renewed their appeal to the public, particularly focusing on the Bedfont Road and Stanwell areas. Investigators are urging anyone who noticed unusual activity around playing fields near Bedfont Road on March 17th to come forward.
"Someone must know something," DC Breeze stated. "Perhaps a friend, family member, or neighbour has been acting differently recently. Even the smallest piece of information could prove vital in reuniting this child with his family."
Roman remains in the care of social services as the search for answers continues, with child protection specialists working to ensure his wellbeing during this uncertain time.
