Hour old newborn found in a trash bag on the lawn

[Tazzzz]

Here is some more info I found:

Berwick Police Sgt. Michael Monico responded to Drasher's call on Nov. 22. The officer reported that when he arrived at the home, the newborn was in a blue plastic bag on top of a dining room table. Monico said the newborn was still breathing and covered in blood, with the placenta attached.

Police reported that Jennifer Lynn Killian was inside of the house, near the newborn. According to police, Killian didn't take responsibility for the newborn when officers arrived at the home.

Monico said the plastic bag contained paper, plastic items, an orange towel and pink bath mat.

In the criminal complaint, the officer said Drasher informed him that the orange towel and blue plastic bag could have come from inside his wife's vehicle.

Upon arrival at the hospital, police learned that the baby's temperature was 84 degrees and that she was showing signs of pneumonia. According to police, it was determined that the newborn couldn't have survived outside in chilly temperatures for longer than five minutes.

A DNA sample was collected from the newborn for testing at the Berwick Hospital. In addition, blood samples (from Baby) were collected for toxicology screening to determine the mother's habits near the end of her pregnancy.

Police received information on Monday from a coworker of Killian's who reported she appeared pregnant. In addition, Killian had allegedly spoken to a supervisor about when she would be taking maternity leave.

Friends and a co-worker at the child development council, Tammy Bankes, told police that they believed Killian was pregnant, but Killian denied she was expecting a baby, blaming her appearance on weight gain, according to the criminal complaint.

Bankes told police, the criminal complaint says, that when Killian arrived for work on Monday, "Killian no longer had the belly."
