The girl, a Lithuanian national, was found in Fountain Lane in the Lincolnshire town at around 6.20pm on Thursday.
Two people have been arrested in connection with her death.
East Area Commander, Chief Superintendent Kate Anderson, said: “Our thoughts continue to be with Lilia’s family and friends, and if any members of the public have information that might assist, please call 101 quoting incident 419 of 28th July, or they can report anonymously via Crimestoppers.”
