Woman arrested, charged after babies found in Mississippi River in 1999, 2003
An arrest has been made in the cases of two babies who were found in the Mississippi River in Goodhue County many years ago.
The Goodhue County Sheriff’s Office and Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension on Monday announced that 50-year-old Jennifer Lynn Matter, of Belvidere Township, was arrested and charged with two counts of second-degree murder in connection to the cases.
Through DNA testing, authorities learned that Matter is the mother of a baby boy who was found dead in Lake Pepin on Dec. 7, 2003. Four years earlier, on Nov. 4, 1999, a baby girl was found dead in the Lower Boat Harbor of the Mississippi River. The BCA says DNA confirmed that was also Matter’s child.
