A guilty plea has been entered in a nearly 40-year-old case. The plea is for second-degree murder and could result in a life prison sentence. A newborn baby boy was found dead, wrapped in specific linens.
His body was discovered in a bin used for laundry. The investigation used genetic genealogy to identify the baby's mother. This led to a woman who now resides in Atlanta.
Further details about the case and investigation are available from the source.
