£50,000 Reward Launched to Crack Baby Ava Mystery
Greater Manchester Police have doubled down on their bid to solve the tragic case of Baby Ava. It’s been a whole year since the infant’s body was heartbreakingly found in Ashtons Field, Little Hulton, on 20 November 2024.
Huge Cash Prize Backed by Greater Manchester Combined Authority
The force has unveiled a £50,000 reward to track down Baby Ava’s identity and uncover how she was abandoned. Funded by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, the cash will go to anyone shedding light on this haunting mystery.
Lead Detective Pleads for Witnesses to Speak Up
Detective Inspector Louise Kelly, head of GMP’s Major Incident Team, spoke emotionally about the ongoing fight for answers. “Since Ava was found a year ago, we’ve worked tirelessly to understand the circumstances around her death and get justice for her,” she said.
“Last month, we revealed a unique clue – a piece of ladies’ size large underwear with cartoon donkeys was found with her. Despite this distinctive item, no new leads have come forward.
“We’ve had about 20 experts working on the case, chased up over 200 tips, and handed out 1,000 leaflets to local people.
“Residents near Ashtons Field can expect a bigger police presence during this anniversary. Officers may knock on doors as we follow every possible lead.”
Parents Urged to Come Forward
Despite significant efforts, Ava’s identity and family remain a mystery. Police say their greatest hope is that her parents will step forward.
“Today is a difficult day for Ava’s parents and anyone who may have known her,” DI Kelly added. “We haven’t lost hope of understanding what happened.
“To Ava’s parents: if you see this, we’re here ready to speak and support you.”
Anyone with information is urged to contact Greater Manchester Police on 101, quoting log 1319 of 20/11/24.
