On 30 March 1896, a bargeman discovered the body of a baby girl, wrapped in brown paper, floating in the Thames near Caversham Weir just outside Reading. The bargeman called the police, who took the parcel back to the station for examination. The police surgeon, on finding “a piece of string... tied tightly around its neck”, concluded that the baby had been strangled. That might have been the end of the story, had the police not noticed a faded address written on the brown paper.
