The body of the young girl found this week in a dumpster in Toronto was wrapped in crochet blanket with butterfly patterns, which was inside a plastic bag wrapped in another blanket, the Toronto Police Service (TPS) said Thursday. The girl was about three foot six, with black curly hair tied into four short ponytails.

The police said their first priority is to discover the identity of the girl, whose remains were discovered on May 2 in a construction site dumpster at an unoccupied residential property near the Castle Frank Road and Dale Avenue area.
