Strivelli said investigators "desperately need to talk" to the baby's parents. He said multiple agencies are reviewing numerous tips, but none has panned out.

Strivelli would not say whether the medical examiner has discovered a cause of death, or whether investigators believe the baby was dead before she went into the water.
