Detectives still working to ID baby found floating in ocean off Florida

14 tips have not panned out, officials say

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. – Six weeks after a baby was found floating in the waters off Florida's Atlantic coastline, police are still trying to identify the child and find her mother.

Palm Beach County sheriff's spokeswoman Teri Barbera said the intense media blitz and a $10,000 reward have yielded only 14 tips. None panned out.

Detectives say a prick on the baby's heel indicates she was born in a hospital. But sheriff's officials said Monday they've checked more than 600 South Florida births and have accounted for all of those children.

Officials estimate "Baby Jane" was 4 to 7 days old and had probably been in the water less than a day when she was found floating near Boynton Inlet. Investigators said she likely floated northward from Broward County.
