Police have opened an investigation into the death of a newborn girl found inside a plastic bag on the lawn of a residence in Fort Worth on Tuesday morning.

The lifeless infant discovered on June 6 has not yet been identified, but the Fort Worth Police Department (FWPD) has urged the public to come forward with any information that might lead to the child’s family.

“We want to make sure the mother is okay. We want to make sure the mother is not a victim herself,” explained Buddy Calzada, an officer with FWPD, according to NBC 5.

Any home surveillance footage from residents living near the intersection of Camp Bowie Boulevard and Interstate 30 might help investigators.

The remains were found in the 5100 block of Birchman Avenue in Arlington Heights by a passerby.

An FWPD post on Twitter shows the exact search zone on a map.

“We have no reason to believe that this was a targeted place to drop this child off,” Calzada told reporters, according to Fox 4.

While the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office is trying to establish the newborn’s cause of death, police have not offered any theories except to say there was no evidence of foul play.

They did report that the infant might have been born a few hours prior to being placed on the lawn sometime between 10 p.m. on June 5 and 6:40 a.m. on June 6.

Neighborhood resident Madeline Romine told NBC 5 that she wasn’t aware the remains had been found so close by until she saw the news crews on her street.

At that point, all she could think was “I just want to be sick,” according to NBC 5.

Calzada said of the grisly discovery, “It really hits home. I’m a dad myself. It’s just hard,” according to NBC 5.

Anyone with information pertinent to the case is encouraged to reach out to the police at 682-382-1510 or 682-382-1524.

While the circumstances of this case remain under investigation, Texas has a Safe Haven law that allows parents in crisis to lawfully and anonymously surrender their child at any hospital, fire station, emergency medical services station, or emergency center.

The infant can be no older than 60 days and must show no signs of harm.

In April, a male infant left at a hospital in Dallas was adopted by the city’s Fire Captain Nick Hilton and his wife, as The Dallas Express reported.
