Dead infant found in duffel bag. (SA Express-News)
much more at the link, with history of S.A. dead infants, landfillsSAN ANTONIO The body of a dead infant was found in a blue duffel bag Monday afternoon by a recycling center employee sorting items on a conveyor belt.
Officials did not say whether the infant was a boy or girl, but police Sgt. Daniel Gonzales said the infant was believed to be between 1 and 10 days old. If an autopsy shows that the child was killed prior to the body being discarded, the case could become a capital murder investigation, he said.
Gonzales said the East Side recycling center's manifest showed that the baby likely came to the center with items collected between Saturday and noon Monday. The body could have come from San Antonio or an outside county, he said.

The employee was sorting in the single stream area which includes household materials such as plastic bottles, paper and glass when the duffel bag came across on the belt, company spokeswoman Lisa Doughty said.
Employees immediately shut down operations and called police, she said. Those working in that area were sent home.
