Matthew RodriguezCold case detectives arrested a 55-year-old woman for allegedly throwing her newborn's body into a Riverside dumpster nearly four decades ago.Cold case detectives arrested a 55-year-old woman this week for allegedly throwing her newborn's body into a Riverside dumpster nearly four decades ago.
Detectives discovered the baby girl's body on Oct. 13, 1987, after a man searching for recyclables found the remains inside a dumpster behind a business in the 5400 block of La Sierra Avenue. The Riverside County coroner's office ruled the girl's death as a homicide. For decades, baby's homicide remained unsolved. However, in 2020, the department's newly formed Homicide Cold Case Unit reopened the case and turned to DNA samples recovered at the scene to reignite the investigation.
Season of Justice provides funds to agencies and families to help solve cold cases through DNA analysis and forensic genealogy.
