Police Find Baby's Body In Freezer - Local News Story - WDIV Detroit


PITTSBURGH -- Police in Pittsburgh, acting on a tip, have found the body of a baby hidden in a freezer. They're awaiting autopsy results expected Friday before deciding whether to charge the 22-year-old mother with murder. For now, Christine Hutchinson is being charged with abuse of a corpse. Police were led to the apartment after a 911 call from somebody in Texas who knows somebody who knows Hutchinson. The caller said there was possibly a dead baby in a freezer.

Police said the young woman told them she gave birth to a girl April 22 but didn't call medics or police. They won't know until after the autopsy whether the child was born alive. The body had been wrapped in a plastic bag, then placed in a brown bag which was then tucked inside a beer box.





I think they should put this woman in a plastic bag, then in a brown bag and then tuck her into a beer box and put in the freezer!

WTF?

It is just tee totally beyond me, how a person can take the most precious commidity on earth and treat it this way............AND 9 times outta 10, she'll get away with it, at the very least with minimal punishment! Just sickens me.......I know a few things that I think should be done with her!

Geeesh, this poor child. I pray for his/her soul and hope she/he is in a better place now.

I don't think you mean commodity. A commodity, according to the dictionary, is a physical substance, such as food, grain, and metal, which is interchangeable with another product of the same type.

Anyway, until the autopsy is done, I'll withhold judgement. Who knows, maybe the baby was stillborn and the mother was in shock and depressed.

well, presently she is charged with abuse of a corpse--at the very least, to say the least.

I am sure communist pennsylvania will have a field day with this bag of nuts.

err... Commonwealth Pennsylvania

I swear some people!! How could anyone do something like that?? I just don't get it. How could anyone not understand the miracle of each and every child that is born. It is such a miracle that I don't see how anyone could even let the thought cross there mind to do anything such as this.

First, you're right, I miss- spoke; that is just a commonly used phrase where I live.

Second, I don't care if she was in shock or depressed, I don't buy into "Excuses" when it comes to abusing a child, dead or alive.

JMO and I do know that you're entitled to yours as well.

Our local town had a woman that delivered a baby, and threw it in the trash. I dont think they ever came out to announce if the baby was stillborn or not.


Made headlines then (months ago). still working the scense, I guess.

Sad.

It is very sad. When I was up north a few months back, they found a baby boy in an apartment dumpster. He was, thankfully, still alive, and doing well now.

Sometimes, these mothers feel that they have no other options, sadly. You don't know this woman's situation, and not every state has that baby drop off program. It's sad no matter how you look at it, IMO.

I may be incorrect, but I thought there were policies or a law that says if you leave the baby at a hospital, police station, fire station no charges will be filed against you. If you don't want a baby...FIRST do not have sex, or USE EFFECTIVE birth control, or second give the baby up for adoption so someone with the love, maturity, and stability can give this child what they deserve.

yeah and the policies sound great, but the other night on the news some young woman dropped off her baby at a hospital , and now the cops are looking for her for her name for abandonment .. there must be a loop hole, because I know Ohio has that same law.

This kind of behavior never surprises me. Abortion and partial birth abortion are perfectly acceptable. Our kids have been raised with abortion. A baby is just an inconvenience if it isn't wanted, and it only goes to follow that some of these young women would be ok with killing a baby as soon as it's born. What's the difference? Very little. The line is blurred. So sad.

The thing is, someone who wants to get rid of a baby would abort, or would leave the baby with someone. Someone who KEEPS a dead baby seems like they'd have much deeper problems to me.

You are entitled to your opinion, of course, but I think the line isn't blurred at all. Very few woman kill their baby as soon as it's born. In this case, it isn't even known yet whether the baby was stillborn or not. You're jumping to conclusions.

I agree, it's hard to judge what happened until we know whether the baby was born alive or not.

Not all states have the "baby drop-off" laws. They should.

There are so many things I would like to say regarding your statement, but I can't and won't because this is not the time or the place.

I think it's too early in the story to determine if the woman discarded her baby as unwanted or gave birth to a stillborn and couldn't bear to part with the baby (indicating some possible psychoses).

Now, the "father" that placed his child in the microwave? He is evil and should be tortured until he dies.

Hubby and I were talking about this story today. Quite frankly, I think the state of PA (my lovely state) has her in jail on way too much bail, $500,000. There are tons of other people who commit crimes (child molesters, rapists, etc) who do NOT get this much bail. She did not kill her baby. It was determined that it died in utero according to my local paper today.

I think she's a woman who has a mental problem. I think she couldn't part with her baby that died. While it's wrong that she put the dead baby in the freezer, I don't think she should spend the rest of her life behind bars. I DO think she needs to be getting psychological help NOW, though.

I tried to find a link to the blurb from the AP, but couldn't. Part of it says "Allegheny County Medical Examiner, Dr. Karl E. Williams said his preliminary findings are based on the size and weight of the fetus and at this point, that the death appears to have occurred naturally."

While I'm 100% prolife, I also don't think this has anything to do with abortions.

Here's the link to the story in my local paper. <after I typed some of it! LOL>

Now, if they change the reason for death, then that would change my opinion of this case.

That's outrageous, $500,000 bond for this act. It's tragic what she did. Obviously she needs help. I feel bad for her.

I didn't mean to jump to conclusions. And I agree that the fact that the baby was found in the freezer probably means deeper problems. For all we know, the baby was still born and they couldn't afford a funeral and this was the best they could come up with. Who knows. I agree that if she did do this, that she does indeed need some type of help.

My point was that, in my opinion, we have taught this generation to have little regard for human life. That is why this type of behavior never shocks me. My statement was not intended to be compassionless, and I'm sorry it came off that way. On the contrary, I feel tremendous compassion for those who, for whatever reason, feel it necessary to kill unborn, or born babies.

WOW I must just be jaded.....I could not imagine putting a child in a freezer, murdered, alive or stillborn. I felt bad when I forgot to tuck the blankets around my DD in her car seat one day when it was a little chilly out!!

Thanks for posting an update mazzymay.

I can't say that I am all that surprised that they would have the bond set so high--it's really disturbing, and it probably disturbed the judge who set that bond.

I don't know what sentence she could face (jail time wise) for "abuse of a corpse", but maybe the leniency would be she be sent to a mental institution at the very least.

I just can not imagine (especially from a 22 year old) a MOTHER putting her dead child into a beer box and putting her into her REFRIGERATOR freezer!! And when her lease was up on her apartment, would she thaw out the baby and then refreeze her? (turns my stomach thinking about that)...or just "leave her in the freezer" for the landlords to dispose of.

I still find it repulsive and disgusting.

Then you have to wonder--where are the parents of the 22 year old? Where are her friends, co-workers, neighbors? Did they not know she was pregnant??

Lots of questions to be answered still on this one.

I don't think any "normal" for lack of a better word, person could imagine doing what she did. I sincerely believe that she has some mental problem. Who knows why she did this or what was going thru her mind.

I think in FL they have a 3 day limit for the "no questions asked" drop off. The baby must be not be more than 3 days old.

Here's another one for you....This was back in January in Delray Beach, FL

I agree.
Bizarre as it is, I (at this point) don't feel she was trying to be cruel towards her baby's corpse. I think in a weird way she just wanted to hold on to the body.
