Baby Hope's Mother Found 22 Years After Baby Found in Cooler
A phone tip in the 1991 homicide of “Baby Hope” led cops to the dead girl’s mom — and closer to solving the long-cold case, a law enforcement source said Tuesday.
Detectives interviewed the mother of the child whose body was found stuffed inside a cooler alongside the Henry Hudson Parkway in one of the city’s most notorious unsolved killings, the source said.
Investigators do not believe the mom was involved, and now suspect a relative or family friend was responsible for the vicious killing, the source said.
