“I would suggest, given the amount of work that goes into making one of those quilts, that someone loved that little girl and gave her that quilt,” Detective Supt Bray said.
“I would appeal to that person to come forward.”
He said because of the distinctive patterns and images, it was likely someone might remember seeing the quilt, possibly if they were visiting the girl’s parents or babysitting her.
“And if someone has either made it or purchased it second-hand and then given it to someone with a child, they would remember it,” he said. “Or even if they had purchased the material for someone and given it to them. They may remember the pumpkins or the musical notes pattern.”
