The infant's body was discovered on August 15, 2016 in the township of Milton, Illinois, an unincorporated part of Wheton.
Medication used to treat epilepsy and mood disorders was found in the baby's blood, indicitive that her mother took the medication during pregnancy. The dosage appeared to be a normal, prescribed amount.
The Parabon Nanolabs created composites of the infant's parents through DNA phenotyping. Both were Hispanic.
Pollen testing on the items located with the body indicated that they originated from an urban part of Northern Illinois or perhaps the South Western portion of the Country.
