Case Story |
|
| |
Nameless No More |
|
| |
The residents of the city of Montgomery, Ala. were appalled when a newborn baby girl was found drowned in the toilet tank of a gas station convenience store bathroom on September 1, 2006.
One woman, Mary McAlpine of the COPE Pregnany Center, decided to do something about it. When investigators questioned the COPE employees to see if they might have information about the mother, Mary pulled an officer aside to see what would happen to the baby. After learning the baby would not receive a funeral service, she told the investigators that if no one came forward for the baby, she wanted to be notified.
When the mother didn't come forward, Mary took matters into her own hands. The Leak-Memory Chapel donated a casket, Ingram Memorial Company donated her headstone, and other local businesses donated a baby blanket for her casket, and flowers for the funeral service.
Not only will the baby be getting a proper funeral service, she will also recieve a name. Mary's son named the newborn 'Catherine Siena' after St. Catherine of Siena, the patron saint of nurses and firefighters. |

A Terrible Discovery |
|
| |
A woman using the restroom at the Gas Depot on West Fairview Avenue in Montgomery, Ala. noticed the toilet wasn't flushing, and the tank sounded like it was running. When she lifted the lid of the tank to fix the problem, she made a horrible discovery.
A newborn baby girl was stuffed into the toilet tank. She had been drowned.
Police were immediately called onto the scene and immediately tried to piece together what had happened. The manager of the store said he had cleaned the bathroom between 11:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. At that point, there was nothing out of the ordinary.
A woman came into the store and went into the restroom at about 12:46 p.m. A female convenience store employee said she went to use the restroom at 1:16 p.m., but the room was still occupied. She waited 10 minutes before seeing a young African-American woman, between 18 to 25 years old exit the restroom. The woman was short - between 5'02" and 5'04" and about 120 pounds. She had her dark hair pulled up into a ponytail, and was wearing black pants and a baggy red T-shirt with white writing.
The employee used the restroom and went back to work. The next woman to use the bathroom at about 2:00 p.m. made the gruesome discovery.
After an examination of the restroom, police found that the baby had been born in the bathroom, and then shoved into the tank. The mother had then cleaned up the scene and left. |

Caught On Tape |

Cops immediately pulled the surveillance video from behind the check-out counter, and found the woman the female employee identified. While it is hard to make out her face, she can be seen walking to and from the restroom, and then exiting the store and turning left.
Lt. Keith Barnett of the Montgomery Police Department is hoping that someone might be able to identify this woman from the surveillance video, or that the young mother might come forward and explain her actions.
"I would like for her to come in and just explain," says Lt. Barnett. "Tell us what she was thinking, what she was going through. I'd like to give her the opportunity to explain why things were so bad that she felt like she needed to do such a...horrible thing to a defenseless child." |
