A baby girl named Ceri by police was found dead on a North Wales shoreline on 27 September; her mother is being sought.

A baby girl named Ceri by police was found dead on a North Wales shoreline near Siliwen Road in Bangor on the afternoon of 27 September. A member of the public discovered the remains. A post-mortem examination indicated the baby may have been in the water for weeks. Police are working with experts to establish what happened to her and identify her parents.

North Wales Police has launched an appeal for information. Superintendent Llinos Daves said the force remains 'determined to get answers for baby Ceri' and that 'all possible lines of inquiry are being followed'. Police are awaiting results from several specialist tests, including DNA testing, which they hope may provide new avenues to explore.

Officers are appealing to dog walkers and residents who regularly walked in the Ashley Fields areas of Bangor since 30 August to contact them. They are also asking for any photos or videos taken around the Menai Straits shoreline at Siliwen during that period. A dedicated phone line has been set up for the mother to get in touch. Fiona Giraud, director of midwifery and women's services for Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, appealed directly to the mother, saying specialists are ready to support her 'no matter what the circumstances are' and urged her to call or text 07974 241223.
