STRASBURG, Colo. -- Authorities in Arapahoe County, Colo., are looking into the discovery of dead baby whose body was found in the back of a old pickup truck.



A man called authorities after he found the body in a box Wednesday night at a mobile home park located south of the town of Strasburg. He told Arapahoe County investigators that he found the body in a box among trash left in the truck.



Sheriff's deputies said the man told investigators he had bought the older-model vehicle just hours earlier and was cleaning it out.



Authorities have arrested a woman in the case. The woman, who has not yet been identified, was arrested for investigation of first-degree murder, and child abuse resulting in death.



Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson told KMGH-TV in Denver that there may be others involved in the case.



The body was sent to a coroner's office for an autopsy.

Killing a baby is pretty horrible. Leaving it with the trash is pretty horrible.
FORGETTING ABOUT IT is unfathomable.

I suspect this person might be what we would politely term as "mentally challenged". It's like the thinking of a child.

Wonder if it was a newborn? OK, found it. Full term or near full term. And she already has a 3 year old...Name: Christie Lee Cole, 23. I agree with BillyGoatGruff - she has to be mentally challenged. Surely....
