""While her birth mother remained hidden, this community wrapped its arms around this little girl. They've waited in patience for answers that she deserved.""
""She deserved better than a watery grave, she deserved more than a life cut short," said Winona County Sheriff Ron Ganrude."
"The match was confirmed with additional testing a year later, with DNA found on the bag Baby Angel was found in also matching Baechle's."
"Baechle denied police requests for a DNA sample - but authorities were able to collect a used feminine hygiene product from the trash outside her home."
Jennifer Nichole Baechle has been charged with two counts of second-degree manslaughter after DNA testing linked her to the 2011 death of her newborn, known as Baby Angel. The baby was found in the Mississippi River, wrapped in a T-shirt and plastic bags. Authorities stated investigations were stagnant until 2023 when genetic testing associated Baechle with the case. Law enforcement used a discarded feminine hygiene product to confirm her DNA coincided with the evidence found with Baby Angel, leading to her arrest in this long-standing cold case.
