Welfare groups have urged a missing mother to come forward with her newborn and seek assistance from their services, after a placenta was found on the Cooks River on Monday. Police have been searching for the woman and baby after a dog walker discovered a human placenta and umbilical cord near the Cooks River at Earlwood this week.
Police divers and a blood-detection dog were called in on Tuesday morning as part of an ongoing, large-scale search, but the operation was winding down by early in the afternoon. The site where the placenta and cord were found is not far from a sports field and an Islamic centre on Lang Rd, which ends with a busy footbridge across the river. ‘Obvious’ discovery Tony Robson and his wife came across the placenta “sitting on top of the mud” during low tide as they walked their two dogs.
