The infant was found around 4 p.m. on March 27 in the pond, the attorney general's office said. Authorities are continuing to call the death "suspicious" and are asking the public to come forward with any information.
They are specifically looking for information on anyone who might have witnessed someone discarding anything into the water at Pine Island Pond within that two-day time period. They also want to speak with anyone who has information about ice conditions at the pond, including parts of the water that were open or photos or videos recorded in the area.
They're also looking for information on anyone who was pregnant during that timeframe and is no longer pregnant and doesn't have a newborn baby.
Anyone with information that could be helpful in the investigation is being asked to call Manchester police at 603-716-7236. Tips can also be provided anonymously via the Manchester CrimeLine at 603-624-4040 or at www.manchestercrimeline.org.
Marr also announced Wednesday that the Manchester CrimeLine is now offering a $2,500 cash reward for information about what happened to the baby.
