SEATTLE (AP) - The mother of a newborn found dead in a trash can at a convenience store in Seattle more than 23 years ago was arrested after she was identified using genetic genealogy, authorities said.
The mother was 27 when the baby was born, The Seattle Times reported. The statute of limitations for manslaughter is three years, which has run out, and there is no statute for felony murder, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors are expected to make a charging decision by Tuesday. Casey McNerthney, a spokesperson for Prosecutor Dan Satterberg, said the woman, whose name has not been released, is expected to appear in court for the first time on Friday. She was being held at King County Jail.
