INFANTICIDE: March 29, 1924 Gosport, England Baby Jane Doe

On March 29, 1924, an engine-room artificer of the Royal Navy was on duty at the Costal Motor-Boat Base at Haslar Creek in Gosport, England. He would spot a suspicious brown paper parcel on the foreshore near the pontoon. It was a few feet above the tide line which was at the time dead low.

He would go and get the parcel and unwrap it. Inside was the body of a newborn baby girl. It was found that the child was born alive and had lived for at least a few minutes before dying from exposure and want of attention at birth. She had been dead for more than 3 days.
