  • Specialist homicide detectives and the Child Trauma Unit remain on the case to determine how the infant entered the lake.
  • A post-mortem was conducted Monday morning and police are awaiting additional test results to establish the cause of death.
  • Sections of the campsite have been cordoned off and detectives returned to the scene for forensic examinations and evidence gathering.
  • Authorities are seeking witnesses, particularly motorists who passed through the rest stop on Saturday morning, to help fill gaps in the timeline.
