On 23 July, 1991, a cooler was found beside the Henry Hudson Parkway in New York City. To the horror of the finder, when they opened the cooler they discovered the decomposed body of a young girl inside. An autopsy showed that the little girl had been asphyxiated, raped and sodomized. The case went cold for twenty years and the unidentified girl was known as “Baby Hope”. Finally, in 2013, the case was reopened as information came in which led authorities to a woman by the name of Margarita Castillo, who stated that her 4-year-old daughter, Anjelica, had gone missing in 1991. She reported that Anjelica’s father had ran off with the child and she never reported her missing. DNA samples from Baby Hope and Magarita proved that the baby found inside the cooler was Anjelica. The investigation led to 52-year-old Conrado Juarez, Margarita’s cousin, who confessed to torturing, raping, and sodomizing the girl before smothering her. He also admitted to tying Anjelica to a table and starving her. He died before he could go to trial.After a long 22 years, Baby Hope was finally laid to rest under her real identity, Anjelica Castillo. -- source link
