Two years later Baby Sarah case haunts police
Two years after the newborn known as Baby Sarah was found dead on a Spring Lake boat ramp in Pyramid State Park, Perry County investigators still seek the infant’s identity and origin.

The body, with placenta, was wrapped in towels and blankets, and the baby is estimated at 36 weeks gestation with AB positive blood type, suggesting a likely rapid birth after uterine abruption.
