    {
        Query = "" +
                "1" +
                "",
        ViewFields = String.Format("", FileReferenceInternalFieldName),
        ViewAttributes = "Scope='RecursiveAll'",
        Folder = parentFolder
    };

    var items = list.GetItems(query);
    if (items.Count == 0)
        return null;

    foreach (SPListItem item in items)
    {
        parentFolder = item.Folder;

        // TODO: Any other checking that this is the item we want

        return item;
    }
    return RecurseIntoFolders(list, parentFolder, fileReference);
}
