A newborn girl was found abandoned in a dumpster in Porto Cristo, Majorca, last Thursday afternoon. Authorities confirmed the infant’s gender through close inspection of the case, and the National Police are maintaining a heightened level of activity as the investigation progresses. Witnesses identified two individuals connected to the abandonment, and investigators from the Manacor police station have secured important lines of inquiry. As days pass, the gap between facts and answers narrows, and officers express confidence that the responsible parties will be located soon.
Law enforcement is pursuing multiple avenues to crack the case. On one front, investigators are collecting footage from security cameras around the area, including streets near Aterratge in Porto Cristo. Those recordings are being reviewed to pinpoint the vehicle used by the two people who discarded the infant. A principal witness described a man and a woman involved in the incident, with the man stepping from the vehicle and discarding the package into the container. However, the description of the car so far has been too vague to identify its make or plate, so teams are seeking additional testimonies and corroborating clues to refine the search.
Another line of inquiry involves hospitals, where authorities are searching for possible leads about the baby’s mother. The prevailing working hypothesis suggests that the mother may have given birth at home and subsequently made the decision to abandon the newborn. Officials are reviewing lists of potential candidates to narrow down the field of possibilities as the investigation unfolds.
In parallel, the Scientific Police are gathering biological samples to help identify the suspects and reconstruct the events. Forensic teams are examining materials connected to the cardboard-like container in which the infant was wrapped and the packaging that was found with the baby. Fingerprints, genetic material, and other traces are being sought to build a clearer evidentiary picture.
Police sources indicate that autopsy procedures have already commenced or are underway in relation to the infant. The investigation continues under strict secrecy, and the full autopsy results have not been released publicly at this time. Early information indicates that the baby may have arrived at the scene alive, was transported to a hospital by local police units, and subsequently died. Some assessments suggest the infant appeared premature due to the small size, though final conclusions await official medical reports. The case remains under active scrutiny as authorities pursue all viable leads, coordinate with hospitals, and verify potential witnesses who can further illuminate the sequence of events that led to the abandonment.
At this stage, authorities emphasize that the investigation is ongoing and that more information will be shared only as it becomes verifiable. The public is urged to provide any additional details that could assist investigators in identifying the individuals involved and clarifying the circumstances surrounding the abandonment. The goal remains to determine what happened, hold those responsible to account, and ensure that appropriate safeguards are reviewed so that such an event does not recur.
