Baby Search

Detroit area authorities say they have been searching for a newborn whose mother told them was thrown into the trash by her boyfriend. Reports say police were looking for the baby following the 29-year-old woman's examination Tuesday at a hospital. They are also searching for her 35-year-old boyfriend, the baby's father. The Detroit woman, who was bloodied and caked with mud when she checked herself into the hospital, said she had suffered a miscarriage. But police say she later said her boyfriend had taken the baby from her and threw it into a trash bin. Officials don't know if the baby is alive.
