2 Years After Mysterious NYC Baby Deaths, Community Still Awaits Answers

Two years after two babies were found dead at a Bronx apartment building, the community still has more questions than answered

NBC Universal, Inc.

It was Nov. 9, 2020. Twin boys, thought to be less than 24 hours old, were found dead on a patio of a Bronx apartment building. Cops launched an intensive investigation. Two years later, it's still ongoing, with the case as yet unsolved.

The Claremont Village community where the babies were discovered that day held a vigil Wednesday to mark two years since the heartbreaking find on College Avenue. The city has had a standing $10,000 reward on the table for information leading to an arrest in the case for the better part of this time, but few leads have developed.

It still isn't clear who birthed the babies, who left them on the patio or how the children died -- so they haven't even been identified. Police canvassed the area at the time for surveillance video for potential leads, but years later say they still need more help from the public to find the killer.

The case has been deemed a double homicide. Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
