WEST PALM BEACH - Authorities are looking for the mother of a baby girl whose remains were found in a two-gallon pickle jar buried near a highway.

A construction crew discovered the jar Monday while working on State Road 80, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.

The baby's umbilical cord was still attached, and the Medical Examiner's Office thinks the jar was buried within the last year.

The Medical Examiner's Office was running tests to figure out how and when the girl died, according to the Sheriff's Office.
