Toronto police distributed sketches of a little girl whose remains were found in a garbage can last month, and images of a vehicle of interest.
On May 2, police responded to a call in the area of Castle Frank Road and Dale Avenue around 4:45 p.m., after human remains were found in a garbage container in front of a home.
The autopsy was completed a few days later, and investigators confirmed that the remains belonged to a black girl of African or mixed African descent, aged between four and seven.
She had all her teeth, three feet and six inches tall, with a slender physique and black curly hair divided into four short tails, two of which were braided and secured with black and blue elastic bands.
Investigators believe the remains were left in a trash can between 12 noon on Thursday, April 28, and 4:45 pm on Monday, May 2.
Toronto police released a photo of a vehicle of interest in the case.
However, police believe the girl may have died last summer, or even earlier.
The cause of death has not yet been determined.
Police released composite sketches of the girl on Tuesday.
Officers also identified and released an image of a vehicle of interest. It is described as a dark Porsche Cayenne SUV, model year 2011-2014.
