The reward for information that leads to the recovery of a missing newborn’s remains has increased to $1,500 thanks to an anonymous donor’s $500 contribution.

The Fort Dodge Police Department is investigating a purported homicide of a newborn infant in Fort Dodge. According to a press release from earlier this week, a caller to the Webster County Telecommunications Center shared information about a female who had recently given birth to a child at home and that the infant was deceased and later moved to another location. The baby’s remains have not been located.

Webster County Crime Stoppers initially offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to the body. On Thursday, an anonymous donor added $500 to increase the reward to $1,500.
