A corpse detection dog had taken on the container in Duisburg west weather and struck, the investigators said. The container was secured. "This is now closely examined for traces, including DNA or fingerprints of the mother," said a police spokeswoman. The investigators also followed evidence from the population.
The body of the girl whom the police gave the name Mia was found on 17 November in a sorting facility for old clothes in Kielce, Poland. The transport with the corpse of the newborn child had come from Duisburg.

The animals are to be used in the coming days at another 200 containers. The remaining 170 used clothing containers are not to be examined because they have not been emptied in the period in question.
