Detectives continue to investigate case of newborn baby found dead in Rowley Regis waste pile
Detectives have used forensic examinations, in an effort to identify the baby and to find out how she died.
More than two months after a baby was found dead at an industrial site in Rowley Regis, West Midlands Police confirmed that there is no new information as officers are continuing to investigate this really sad incident.
A baby girl’s body was found in a warehouse in Station Road on June 25, with police saying at the time that they believe the child was transported to the site by an unwitting private waste operator.

West Midlands Police confirmed that they are continuing to investigate the case.
Detective Chief Inspector Kylie Westlake, from West Midlands Police’s Public Protection Unit, said in June: “While we don’t yet know what has happened, what we do know is that there must be a mother out there who is in real need of help - and she is our absolute priority at the moment.
“We have been checking CCTV and speaking to hospitals, but it may be that the mother or someone who knows who she is sees this appeal.
“I really want to speak to her to make sure that she’s okay, and to ensure that she can get the help she urgently needs.”
The force said that they will treat all information ‘sensitively’, asking anyone who can help identify the baby or the mother to come forward.
Ms Westlake added: “We'll treat information we receive sensitively, and we'd ask for anyone who can help us identify who the baby and mother were to come forward.”
