'Baby Mary' was found dead in a Mendham Township park on Christmas Eve more than 30 years ago.
Officials announced that the baby’s mother was arrested in South Carolina on April 24, more than 38 years after she allegedly left her daughter to die in a secluded park in Mendham Township, officials with the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office said.
“The death and abandonment of this baby girl is a tragic loss, and even after 40 years remains just as heartbreaking,” Carroll said. Investigators hunted down “hundreds, if not thousands of leads” to identify the mother, Carroll said. Law enforcement agencies at the local and state level in New Jersey, the FBI, and several agencies from Florida and South Carolina were involved in the investigation in recent years.
