The updated image adds earrings in the child’s ears. The previous composite should not be considered inaccurate, but this one represents the most up-to-date version, according to authorities.

Massachusetts authorities have been asking the public to be alert for any children who seem to have gone missing from their communities, their neighborhoods, schools, summer programs, parks, churches or any other places where people gather.

The image depicts what the child may have looked like in life.

Authorities also released images of the leggings she was wearing when found, which are white with black polka dots, and of a black and white zebra-stripe blanket found with the child’s body.

The girl was approximately 4-years-old at the time of her death, had brown eyes and brown hair, and weighed about 30 pounds.

Anyone with any information about this toddler or who has information about a missing child is urged to call Massachusetts State Police at (508) 820-2121, a 24-hour number, the Suffolk County State Police Detective Unit at (617) 727-8817, or Winthrop Police at (617) 539-5806.
