Around 10 a.m., a man with a 2-year-old boy and a dog tried to steal a car in the 300 block of North Avenue 52 before running off, leaving both the child and the pet behind, police said. The victim reported that an unidentified man tried to steal his vehicle but fled on foot. Officers searched the area for the suspect but didn't find anyone. The thief abandoned the boy inside the vehicle, officials said, and the dog was found outside.

A baby boy was found dead in a black bag, ditched in a pile of leaves behind a Brooklyn public housing development Thursday, cops and law enforcement sources said.

On Dec. 12, 1989, a woman was found dead on Old Temple Bar Road off White Hills Road, just 50 miles south of Las Vegas. She had been stabbed multiple times and left nude in the desert. At the time, police were unable to identify the victim or any suspects involved in her death, but homicide investigators were able to obtain a DNA profile from the victim.
