The Federal Bureau of Investigation in Philadelphia and police in Gloucester County, New Jersey are investigating a case involving a "Baby Jane Doe" found on the morning of Thursday, Dec. 4, 1986, according to the release.
She was found inside a silver, plastic trash bag in a dumpster behind the shopping center at Ganttown Road and Route 42 in Washington Township, New Jersey, the FBI said. Inside the trash bag, she was wrapped in a beach towel depicting an African plains scene.
The girl was white, weighed about 7 pounds, and had dark hair and brown eyes, according to the FBI.
Her death was ruled a homicide by asphyxiation, the FBI said.

Jacobs, of the FBI in Philadelphia said. "This case demonstrates no matter how much time passes we continue to pursue justice for victims."
