The parents of a baby found dead in Northfield, Vermont, on April 1, 1982, have been identified, but will not face charges in connection with the child's demise.
More than 40 years after some Vermont children waiting for a school bus discovered a dead baby off the side of the road, state police have announced that they found the infant’s parents and no charges will be filed. The deceased infant was found in Northfield on April 1, 1982, state police said Wednesday. Investigators determined that the deceased baby was a recently born boy but his identity was unknown.
In 2020, state police worked with a DNA technology company to do genealogy analysis with the work funded by donations. In 2021, the company provided possible names of the baby's biological mother and father, who had ties to the Northfield area in 1982. Vermont State Police said they contacted the individuals at their home in Maine and obtained DNA from them, which confirmed they were the parents.
State police met with the county prosecutor about the case, who determined that charges of murder are unwarranted, police said. Charges related to the unauthorized disposal of a dead body are beyond the statute of limitations, police said.
