Case History

The body of a full-term newborn, wrapped in floral print curtains and inside a plastic Food Lion grocery bag, was located in a landfill on Sparta Road. The surrounding trash probably originated from the following areas: Crisp, Pitts Crossroads, Edgecombe Tech, Trianangle, Heritage Hospital or Town of Tarrboro. Sanitation workers believe it to be from an open trash container located at Edgecombe Technical Community College.

There were several witnesses who indicated that a young woman driving a blue car was seen in the immediate vicinity of the container looking in and around it the previous day. They considered this odd given it was raining.
