Dead Newborn Baby Found in Shoplifter's Bag Was Born Alive, Likely Asphyxiated
A teenage girl at the center of an infanticide case now faces homicide charges after reports showed the dead newborn child found in her Victoria's Secret bag was born alive and then likely asphyxiated to death.
Tiona Rodriguez and Francis Estevez, both 17, were stopped for suspected shoplifting and a security guard found the baby's body inside a bag. After questioning, Rodriguez told police officers that she had suffered a miscarriage the day before and did not know what to do. Ref. Source 4
