This hits close to home My hometown, even. Just outside of Grayson, Kentucky the body of a baby girl, approximately 2 months old, was found in an abandoned house. The body was badly decomposed, and LE believe she has been in the house (which had been abandoned for at least 14 years) for at least a month.

As of last night, LE could not find any evidence that the baby girl had been born in a hospital, and a home birth had not been ruled out. Without the records from a hospital birth, it may be impossible to find the parents of this baby girl.

Why couldnt they just leave the baby at a church or hospital or even on someones doorstep???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe it was born dead? I don't like either thought but I hope it wasn't left there alive and suffered.
