A guilty plea has been entered in a decades-old case involving the death of a newborn baby boy. The baby's body was discovered wrapped in hospital linens. A woman, now living in Atlanta, has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and could face a life sentence. Investigators used genetic genealogy to identify the mother.

Further details about the case are available. The investigation led to the identification of the baby's mother after nearly 40 years.

The case is now resolved with the guilty plea, bringing an end to a long-standing cold case.
