North Wales Police have issued an updated appeal in the search for the mother of baby Ceri, whose body was discovered on the Menai Strait shoreline near Bangor in September.
The infant's body was found along the shoreline near Siliwen Road in Bangor, Gwynedd, prompting a major investigation into her death and efforts to locate her mother, who has not yet been identified.
Investigation Update One Month On
A spokesperson for North Wales Police stated: "Officers are renewing their appeal for information one month following the tragic discovery of baby Ceri's body on the Bangor shoreline. An investigation was launched on September 27 to find out the circumstances of her death and to locate her mother, who has not yet been identified."
"All possible lines of enquiry are being followed and we are continuing to work with experts on several specialist tests, which we hope may provide us with new avenues to explore."
In the last month, officers have reviewed hundreds of hours of CCTV footage, responded to submissions from the public, and distributed over 2,000 leaflets to those living and working locally.
Appeal to Family to Come Forward
Superintendent Llinos Davies remarked: "We remain determined to get answers for baby Ceri. Officers are tirelessly investigating the circumstances surrounding her death and are continuing to appeal to her mother, father or family to come forward."
"This has been a heartbreaking case for the community of Bangor and beyond. The support and compassion we've received has been unwavering as we continue to appeal for any information that could be relevant to finding out what happened to Baby Ceri."
"Our dedicated phone line for Baby Ceri's mother remains available at all times to speak to a trained specialist who will listen and support her."
Home Office pathologist Dr Brian Rodgers carried out a post-mortem examination on baby Ceri's body, with officers confirming that preliminary findings suggest she may have been in the water for up to a few weeks.
