Abandoned Baby Case Hooks Police Across Rivers
A newborn was found in a Florence Crittenton Mission basket in Alexandria and a woman in black with a saffron coat boarded a car to Washington. Police fear the mother may have drowned herself in the river after fleeing moments after the infant was found. A nurse at the mission discovered the baby and a note blamed the mother’s insanity. An alert went to Washington police and Barbourville authorities for clues about the possible mother and child’s origin.
