Some clues lead police to believe that the baby's mother may live on, have ties to, or recently travelled to Martha's Vineyard. 

State Police are leading the investigation with assistance from both the Rochester and West Wareham Police Departments. 

Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to contact State Police.
