A woman in Upstate New York was charged on Saturday with her infant child’s murder, the Associated Press reports. Prosecutors said the woman, Christina Colantonio, lived with her dead daughter’s body for three months.
Police opened an investigation on Thursday after receiving a 911 call from someone who’d visited Colantonio’s Batavia, New York, apartment and found the baby’s body.
According to the AP, police said investigators believe the girl was killed about “shortly after birth,” about three months ago, and that they “have enough evidence to come to a conclusion it was intentionally caused.”
Police said Colantonio has two other children.
