"Back in 1994, on Dec. 3 the partial remains of a two to three day old boy were found off Garin Road in Prunedale. An autopsy showed the baby had been born alive, outside of a hospital, and that he had not been fed for about 24 hours prior to his death. The cause of death could not be determined."
"There was never a missing person's report filed, and the Monterey County Sheriff's Office were unable to get any leads. In 2020, the county spearheaded the Cold Case Task Force to start investigating cases like the unsolved 1994 case. The release states DNA samples from Baby John Doe, or "Baby Garin" as Monterey County Sheriff's deputies referred to him as during the 2024 investigation, were taken and showed Ferreyra as the child's mother."
On Dec. 3, 1994, partial remains of a two- to three-day-old boy were found off Garin Road in Prunedale. An autopsy showed the infant had been born alive outside a hospital and had not been fed for about 24 hours prior to death; the cause of death could not be determined. No missing-person report was filed and the case produced no leads. In 2020, a Cold Case Task Force reinvestigated the matter and DNA testing identified Pamela Ferreyra as the mother. Ferreyra said she hid her pregnancy, drove the newborn to a remote Prunedale location, left him there, and did not return. She received a 13-year, 4-month sentence for voluntary manslaughter and felony child abuse.
