SPRINGFIELD, Ore. (AP) — Springfield police continue to search a landfill for the body of a baby they believe was killed by his mother after giving birth in October.
Police say searchers have a good description of the material the boy was wrapped in and dropped in a trash bin.
The Register-Guard said searchers probed a 2-acre section of the Short Mountain Landfill over the weekend without success.
Detectives arrested 23-year-old Angelica May Swartout last week on an aggravated murder charge.
She told family members her baby died at birth. When no record of the baby’s birth or death was found, police were notified.
