I have an update for everyone on a story I reported last week. Unfortunately, it’s a terrible update. Worse than I could have imagined. If you recall, a baby was found in a field, but police were unsure if it was a homicide because the child appeared to have severe medical problems. It was possible it had died prior to being placed in the field.
Well, simply put, it didn’t. The baby did in fact have severe medical issues and was in hospice care, but the mother seemingly not content to let the child die peacefully, set it on fire in the field. To complicate matters even further, police say the mother believed she had accidently given her newborn a fatal dose of morphine. She claims this is when she got scared and tried to hide the evidence. Right now she is in jail, but if police can determine that the morphine is what killed the baby she will not be charged with killing the infant. Nevada does not have a law on the books against burning a dead person. As of right now, she is only up against charges of arson and destroying evidence.
