Funeral For Baby Found In Woods
A funeral for a baby girl who was found dead in woodland on Teesside is to take place today. The body of the premature girl, named Lea by police, was discovered wrapped in a beach towel in Kirkleatham, Redcar, in February 2008. Her mother has never been found, despite several appeals to trace a distressed woman seen in the area several days earlier. The funeral for Baby Lea was due to take place at a service at Kirkleatham Church at midday. The infant's body was found wrapped in the distinctive blue and purple striped towel, inside a bin liner, in Kirkleatham Lane on 20 February. Police have repeatedly appealed for a woman, who had short bobbed hair and was wearing a black jumper, seen in an "emotional state" near the village's St Cuthbert's Church three days earlier, to come forward.
