True Crime with Rachel Shannon · A Baby was Found in the Back of a U-haul. Then, Autopsy Revealed Sickening Items in His Stomach. · 24 Sep 2026 podcast

So of course she's not posting it when she relapses. matched

But the timeline she's giving clearly tells us that she has relapsed but is trying to get clean again now that she's pregnant. matched

From there there are periodic posts where she's documenting her sobriety and pregnancy. matched

By March she announced that she was having a boy. matched

Days later she posted another photo with the caption matched

20 weeks and I cannot believe God blessed me with a baby boy, got clean, and feeling alive again. matched

Then finally, by August 5th, 2024, Andrea makes the announcement that she has given birth to her healthy baby boy, Grayson. matched

Now, before we get further into the details about Grayson and what happened to him, I want to pause for a minute to discuss the baby she had years prior. matched

Yes, she had previously given birth to another child. matched

In January of 2021, Andrea, then 23 years old, gave birth to her first baby, and she tested positive for cocaine at the time of the birth. matched

She later admitted that she used cocaine throughout her entire pregnancy and matched

and that she used it the very morning she gave birth. matched

That baby spent some time in the NICU, likely undergoing the kind of treatment that babies received when they're born on drugs and are going through withdrawal. matched

It was said that Andrea went and visited her baby there just one time and then she walked out and she never came back. matched

She then told people that she wasn't even sure she wanted the baby. matched

So the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, DCFS, took the child into their care. matched

They also tried finding Andrea but couldn't get in touch. matched

They called her repeatedly. matched

They went to the address she had listed as her residence, but it was found that she didn't live there. matched

She failed to show up for any of the DCFS hearings. matched
