A premature baby boy who was only a few hours old was found alive in a zipped suitcase next to a trash compactor, police say.
Speer said hospital staff told detectives that the baby weighed 4 pounds, 12 ounces and was between four to six weeks premature. He was about two hours old when he was found and had to be placed on oxygen, but his nurses are slowly taking him off it.According to Speer, a maintenance worker at the complex usually places garbage left outside in the trash compactor but on the day the baby was found, the worker was running late.
Police and detectives canvassed the apartment complex and spoke with"almost every single resident," Speer said. Local hospital and emergency clinics were also notified and told to be on the lookout for a potential mother seeking medical care. Speer did not say if the mother could face charges.
