Terry Hunt

I'm Terry Hunt.

I was the editor of the East Anglian Daily Times newspaper between 1996 and 2017.

When the baby was found in 1987, I was working in the newsroom at the newspaper.

I looked round the newsroom and the newsroom was empty.

Even in 1987, we didn't run on lots of staff.

I didn't have any option, really.

We had to go out.

So I grabbed a photographer and we headed out.

I think there was one policeman standing there.

Just very, very lonely.

Very lonely, even for Suffolk, very lonely.

Which made me think...

It was strange.

There was a bit of muddled thinking on behalf of whoever left it there.

That was my initial thought.

I don't know what the thinking is.

Why didn't the person who left it leave it somewhere where they knew it was going to be found?

One was just silence, and one was a woman with a local accent, a Suffolk accent, saying words to the effect of, I didn't mean it.

Sometimes I would cut through that little lane and I would always slow down and kind of try to remember where the baby was left.

And then I would think, I wonder what happened to that little baby.
