ENTERPRISE, Ore. (AP) — The Wallowa County district attorney’s office says a Bend woman has been indicted after two fishermen found her stillborn baby near a roadside in northeastern Oregon.

The fisherman found the baby March 8 along Oregon 82, the road that leads into Minam State Park.

The Oregonian reports that the Oregon State Medical Examiner’s Office in Clackamas determined that the girl had been stillborn.

A Wallowa County grand jury indicted 22-year-old Olivia Lorraine Soares Tuesday on charges of felony second-degree abuse of a corpse and misdemeanor concealing the birth of an infant.
