If there were no visible wounds (gunshots, knife, etc.) on her body, they can't declare it a homicide because she could have just been left there and died of exposure. Police don't decide cause of death, the ME does, so they have no choice but to say it was suspicious. Maybe this was the reporter's choice of words, not LE's.

I'm pretty clueless about specific nomenclature regarding charges, but it seems to me that leaving an infant to die of exposure would be a homicide...? If not, what would the charge be?
