WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Four-and-a-half years ago, a days-old newborn was found dead, floating in the ocean off the coast of Florida. The case turned cold with no fruitful leads and the female infant was never identified.
On Thursday, authorities in Palm Beach County said that they have arrested the mother of the infant with the help of the same genetic genealogy technique that led to an arrest in the"Golden State Killer" case in California.
Investigators searched records of every child recently born in Palm Beach and Broward counties but didn't turn up anything, Strivelli said. A $10,000 reward was offered for information leading to an arrest. None of the tips they received were helpful, though, and the cold case squad took the case, he said.
"We rebuilt the family tree and identified the close relatives, and then established the link to our suspect today," Sikorsky told reporters.
