BREAKING NEWS: Shown alive in the photo below, the dead Baby Doe girl found heartlessly dumped in a garbage bag on Deer Island Massachusetts three months ago has been identified as “Bella” and a suspect is being questioned today.
Police hunting for the deceased girl’s 40-year-old mother, Rachelle Bond, and her 35-year-old male companion, Michael McCarthy, executed search warrants last night at a house in the Boston district of Mattapan.
Investigators said a long-awaited tip from someone who thought she recognized the toddler as one who’d inexplicably gone missing from her neighborhood is what led to a break in this haunting case.
Forensic experts, however, had been steadily making progress in determining where the child may have lived before her mysterious death; ultimately narrowing it down to the northeastern United States.

At this point law enforcement has declined to reveal the name of the individual they’re currently interrogating, stating only that the Baby Doe death investigation “remains very active but, beyond that, we have no updates to share.”
It’s not clear either how the little girl died, but archival Facebook postings by the woman believed to be her mother portrayed herself as the proud and doting mom of 4-year-old daughter Bella:
“Love her to death. I am on top of the world because of her,” Rachelle Bond wrote in one update. “My life is complete again and worth living. I’ll give her the world and more if I can….”
