BOSTON (AP) _ Authorities have released a computer-generated image of a young girl found dead on Deer Island in Boston Harbor and are hoping it generates clues about her identity.

Suffolk District Attorney Daniel Conley said at a news conference on Deer Island on Thursday that the girl's identity and how she died remain mysteries. He said he hopes someone recognizes the image that was created by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and alerts authorities.

Officials believe the girl was about 4 years old. Her body was found last week inside a plastic bag that also contained a black and white zebra-print blanket.

Authorities on Thursday also released photos of the blanket and white leggings with black polka dots the girl was wearing.
