The baby’s remains were found on Feb. 1, 1988, wrapped in a blanket or bath towel and placed inside a clear plastic bag. The bag was laying on the floor near an old couch in the garage of the abandoned house. A man rummaging through abandoned houses stumbled onto the baby’s remains, according to two published reports dated Feb. 2 and Feb. 3, 1988, from the Joplin Globe and the Oklahoman.

An autopsy showed Baby Boy Doe was a white male child, weighing about three pounds, 19 inches long and was stillborn, according to published reports.

So very sad to read about this baby boy. Rest in Peace sweet baby. xx

Devastating for the man who came across the remains.

I'm confused as to why the identity of this child would need to be found. He was stillborn, are they really going to find and prosecute the mother for abuse of a corpse more than 30 years after she lost her child?

More about solving the mystery of the community's unknown infant.

Hope the Mom received medical & emotional support. Childbirth, miscarriage, and stillbirth are all difficult for the Mom, and this Mom experienced two of them.
