Abandoned Baby, Garden of Angels- “Darling Grace”
She snugly wraps the blanketed remains in a crocheted afghan inside the coffin, places a doll and a single yellow rose atop and snaps the lid shut. At the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office, the red-haired, 20 inch girl was tagged “BabyJaneDoeNo.21”. She was given the name “Grace”. Grace was discovered in March by two 13 year-old boys who saw her body floating face down in 14 feet of water in the aqueduct. Sheriff’s deputies initially thought she may have been strangled before being dumped, although they may never know for sure because the body was badly decomposed.
