The mother of a newborn girl who was found dead more than four months ago in a yard in El Paso County has been arrested on charges she killed the infant and tampered with the remains, the sheriff’s office said Friday.<\/p>\n
Amy Grace Carr, 19, of Yoder, was arrested after a lengthy investigation, according to a news release from the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office. She faces charges of first-degree murder and tampering with a deceased human body, the release says.<\/p>\n
A 911 caller reported Jan. 23 that the newborn was “partially buried” in a yard and was unresponsive. When first-responders arrived, the release says, the infant was dead.<\/p>\n
Jacqueline Reed, a spokeswoman for the sheriff’s office, said the caller, who hasn’t been identified, was the person who found the baby in the yard.<\/p>\n
“It was a baby girl,” Reed said.<\/p>\n
The location of the yard hasn’t been released, nor has the caller’s relationship with Carr.<\/p>\n
The Sheriff’s Office says its major-crimes unit investigated the death, resulting in a warrant for Carr’s arrest that was served Thursday.<\/p>\n
