I need to go to the hospital.

And the next thing you know, they have a baby.

So the question is, did she know she was pregnant and she concealed her pregnancy and then she planned to kill the baby once it was born and hide it?

Or was she shocked when she went into labor and freaked out and didn't know she was pregnant?

That's a better story for someone to come up with and say, I didn't even know I was pregnant.

Right.

And then I had this baby and I freaked out and I was overwhelmed.

I lost a lot of blood.

I fell asleep.

I woke up and the baby was dead.

Right, so it'll be interesting to see what further evidence comes out in this case that could actually solidify whether she knew she was pregnant or not.

Right, because all it takes is one snap for her to say, like, I'm pregnant, woohoo, or whatever.

Or something with a boyfriend or, you know, anyone, right?

Yeah.

She then claims she went back to sleep until her alarm sounded later that morning.

Investigators say that when she woke up again, she cleaned the blood and afterbirth from her bedroom, placed the baby still wrapped in the towel inside a trash bag and also put the placenta inside a sealed plastic bag before placing it in the trash.

So what did the autopsy find?

So a later autopsy concluded that the infant died from asphyxia, though the specific mechanism could not be determined.

And that's the question.

Does that mean like smothering the mouth and nose versus choking?
