Newborn left in trash bag on porch discovered by man who didn’t know his girlfriend was pregnant: Police

Woman put newborn in trash bag, left bag on the porch

Alaynah Rappuhn appears in court after being charged with attempted murder (Bibb County Sheriff’s Office).

A Georgia woman gave birth to a baby boy without telling her boyfriend, who allegedly found the baby in a trash bag outside their home. Now she’s being charged with attempted murder.

Alaynah Rappuhn, 22, was arrested on April 1, a day after she went to the emergency room at Piedmont Macon Hospital for “excessive bleeding.” According to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office, Rappuhn’s boyfriend noticed her condition on the afternoon of March 31 and brought her to the hospital for treatment. Before they left the home, she left a trash bag on the back porch. When the boyfriend returned to the home to get some of Rappuhn’s belongings, he noticed the trash bag on the back porch — then he noticed that the bag was moving.
