The officials also released the picture of the red sedan.
“The medical examiner is in possession of the child,” said Lakeland Police Chief Sam Taylor. “Detectives and police are combing the area to find any information that could lead them to find out who dumped the baby in the dumpster.”
Taylor said she believed the newborn had been there for less than 10 hours. He said it was unknown whether the child was born dead or was a victim of murder.
