Police stopped short of calling the man a suspect.
"He is someone we
definitely have to talk to," NYPD Assistant Chief Joe Reznick told Olokunbolablog
on Thursday, "But can we arrest him for this right now? The answer is
no, definitely not."
Investigators are looking for the father and believe he is in New York City.
"We're very interested in him," a law enforcement official told Olokunbolablog.
"Baby Hope," a little
girl whose body was found in a blue and white picnic cooler in a wooded
area near the Henry Hudson Parkway on July 23, 1991, was never
identified until this week.
