Baby Abandoned by Jessica Cruz, 19, in Salvation Army
This is interesting. These two stories rolled across my desk today. The first one has a police sketch of a woman who abandoned her baby in a Salvation Army store and plea for anyone with information to step forward. The second article, just a day later, shows a picture of the culprit who will be […]
Another Baby Found in Dumpster
The body of a newborn baby girl was found in a trash dumpster at Bella Estates Apartments. An autopsy will be performed to determine whether the baby was alive at birth. I have to hope that the child was not alive when it was placed in the dumpster, that would be a horrible way to […]
Porch Baby was Stillborn
We reported on the baby that was abandoned on a neighbor’s porch in Philadelphia earlier. It turns out that the child was actually stillborn. This is still incredibly sad, but I cannot help but be ecstatic that the child did not die on the porch, cold and alone. The mother is still wanted for questioning […]
Abandoned Infant Perishes on Porch
I have yet another article on an infant who was found dead and abandoned. It is possible that the baby was not dead at the time she was abandoned, but she was left on a neighbor’s dark porch and was no longer breathing by the time she was found. She was wrapped in a brown […]
Infant Death Investigation in Tasmania
Another tragedy has struck the city of Tasmania. A child was found abandoned and dead in Kingston Park along with the umbilical cord and placenta. An autopsy was unable to discover the cause of death. Police in the area are going house-to-house and inquiring at local schools to see if anyone has any information on […]
Missing Baby? Part 2
I have a quick update on the article I recently reported on regarding the possible missing child. “Sonny” the 4-month-old baby who may or may not be missing has still not been found. Police have finished searching the recycling center where the infant was thought to be. Again, no evidence exists that proves the child […]
Missing Baby?
In all my time with this organization I have never seen a story quite like this. This is a story of infant abandonment which may not involve any infant abandonment. Confused? A man found a box with a note next to his recycling bin. That note was a mother’s plea for whoever found it, to […]
Unsolved Mystery: Winona County
The case of the baby who was found in a bag in a Winona County River remains unsolved. Although many tips have come in with leads, police are still no closer to finding the parents who may know what happened to the child. Autopsy results are still inconclusive as to the cause of death, which […]
Laundry Rooms are not Approved Safe Havens
This story could have been much worse, but it is still a mark in the ‘loss’ column for Safe Haven. A baby was found abandoned in the laundry room of a South Carolina apartment complex. The newborn still had his umbilical cord attached. Officials say it appears as though the woman gave birth in the […]
Orenthia McCuller- Laundry Room Mother
The story we reported on last week regarding the infant found outside an apartment laundry room appears to have been solved. Police have identified the mother as Orenthia McCuller, 21. She is being charged with unlawful conduct toward a child and bond has been set at $40,000. We will see how the case goes, but […]
