A woman has been arrested in Washington state for murder in a cold case involving the death of her newborn baby at an Arizona airport almost 20 years ago, authorities announced this week.
The newborn's body was found in the trash in a woman's restroom at Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix on Oct. 10, 2005, wrapped inside a hotel bag, according to police. The infant became known to the public as "Baby Skylar." Despite widespread media attention, no suspects were named and homicide detectives said the case "went cold after all leads were exhausted."
But modern forensic testing on the baby's body several years ago helped law enforcement to identify a potential maternal match, which led them to 51-year-old Annie Anderson, the suspect now charged in the baby's death.
