Detective Inspector Scott Beard told the Herald how frustrating and sad it was to have a baby girl lying in a morgue without any family, without any respect, without any love. The baby's body had been found by staff sorting recycling at Visy Recycling in Onehunga. Beard desperately wanted to speak to the baby's mother - or anyone who suspects they know where the little girl came from. "We want to do is show this baby girl the respect she deserves and give her a proper funeral - a name, a send-off. "And of course, when we find the mother, we can give this wee baby girl a proper send off."
