DNA Evidence Leads to Couple’s Arrest 31 Years After Newborn Found Dead

The parents of a baby killed in 1992 are in custody after newly developed DNA evidence led investigators to them, state troopers said.

A farmer in Picayune, Mississippi, looking to feed his animals, found the infant’s body on April 15, 1992. The body was found in a trash bin inside a bag wrapped in a towel with other garbage behind a local pizzeria, police said.

“I moved the towel, and I says, ‘oh my god! that’s a little doll,'” the farmer told CBS affiliate WWL-TV back in 1992. “Then I said that ain’t a doll. That’s human flesh. And it turned me sick. I just got out and got my truck drove to my house, and called the authorities.”
