Sought by the West Yorkshire PD for Questioning

October 26, 2008

UK YORKSHIRE NEWS -- UK's West Yorkshire detectives are searching for Angela Owen who is wanted for questioning in the discovery of a dead baby boy at her former residence. The newborn infant was discovered in a black trash-bin by workers renovating The Howroyd on Krumlin Road, Barkisland, Halifax, on July 12, 2006. Although the baby's death is not being treated as suspicious, police are want to speak to Ms. Owen in order to find the boy's missing mother.

So far, a nationwide search has failed to locate Angela, who's married name of Angela Owen, but is known to use many aliases:

• Ann Hall
• Carla Geissler
• Helen Gee

Furthermore, Angela has not been seen since June 2004 when she visited the Weston Super Mare area using the Geissler and Gee aliases. Detective Sargent Bill Hargreaves, of Calderdale CID, said:

"It is just over two years since the discovery of the baby in Barkisland and we still need to speak to Angela Owen about the circumstances surrounding the discovery of the baby.

"We appeal to Angela to make contact with us and for anyone who thinks they may have seen Angela or who knows where she is to contact police."

Angela Owen is described as:

• Height: 175 - 180 cm or 5' 10"
• Weight: Slim
• Eyes: Brown
• Hair: Blond
• Complexion: Light
• Sex: Female
• Race: White

This case sounds all too like the U.S. case, "Beloved Doe," which involved the death of a toddler whose body was found starved and dehydrated inside a dumpster in an Apartment Complex in Houston, Texas. After a four-year search, the 5-year-old deceased was identified as Jose Bernardo Martinez, and his mother was arrested.

Anyone who has any information that could help UK West Yorkshire detectives find the mother of this dead baby boy, or Angela Owens AKA Ann Hall, is asked to call Halifax CID at 01422 337085, police at 0845 6060606, or UK Crimestoppers at 0800 555111.
