“Baby Hope,” a moniker given to a 4 year old murdered 22 years ago in New York City, received a headstone recognizing her true identity.
Family members and investigators who were involved in the high profile case came together Friday at St. Raymond’s Cemetery in the Bronx to remember Anjelica Castillo, the toddler whose unidentified body was discovered in a cooler alongside a Manhattan highway more than two decades ago, the Associated Press reports.
Castillo’s identity was revealed last month after police arrested a 52-year-old cousin of the child in connection to the murder. The suspect is being arraigned on a murder charge, but his lawyer is questioning the police confession that prompted the arrest.
