An 18-year old Chicago woman has been charged with first-degree murder is connection with the bizarre killing of her newborn baby.
Ana Rosa Mora gave birth to a baby boy on Saturday, April 19, then put him in a plastic WalMart bag and placed him outside.
By the time a construction worker found the child it was dead. The Cook County medical examiner's office later determined the boy died from asphyxia and possible exposure.
According to the Chicago Tribune, Mora wanted to get rid of the child because it looked like his father and she was afraid her new boyfriend would leave her because of it.
Teachers at Kelvyn High School who knew Mora was pregnant noticed she had given birth when she returned to school. When asked about her baby, Mora showed photos on her iPad of a newborn girl she said was hers.
Mora's story began to unravel when she asked school administrators about a dead baby. She wanted to know if police could take DNA from people in her home and if the DNA could be used to determine who the parents were.
Later a Chicago cop stationed at the school congratulated Mora on the birth of her child and asked how old it was. She was overheard telling the officer the child was six months old.
A suspicious staff member called the officer with concerns about Mora's story. The teen was interviewed on Tuesday, April 22. On Friday, April 25, she was arrested at her home.
Mora admitted she had lied to school officials and she had actually put her child outside. She's currently being held on $500,000 bail.
