New details about woman arrested in cold case of newborn left in trashcan
SEATTLE - A Seattle woman accused of killing her newborn son after giving birth to him in Chevron gas station in 1997 and leaving him in a trashcan has bailed out of jail, according to online court records.
On Monday, Christine Warren, the child's mother, was charged with second-degree murder.
Over the decades, detectives used the woman's DNA and genealogy to piece together a family tree of the baby that led investigators to their suspect: his mother. The woman allegedly confessed to being the baby’s mother and leaving him in the trash and that police did not object to her release, according to court documents.
