Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.AN elderly widow was being sought by detectives last night after the skeleton of a baby who probably died more than half a century ago was found in a suitcase in a rubbish skip outside a house that was being cleared out in Bradmore, Wolverhampton. Two newspapers from 1936 and 1937 were also in the case.
West Midlands Police hoped to interview the last known resident of the house, a woman in her eighties who left 18 months ago and was believed to be living in Poole, Dorset. They said the length of time made it impossible to tell the sex of the child or the cause of death.
