An 18-year-old woman in Idaho has been arrested after she allegedly left a dead newborn baby inside a Safe Haven Baby Box at a local hospital last month. Angela N. Newberry was taken into custody on Thursday and charged with one count of felony failure to report a death to law enforcement, authorities announced.

According to news releases from the Blackfoot Police Department and Safe Haven Baby Boxes, the “tragic incident” took place on Oct. 13, 2024, at the Grove Creek Medical Center in Blackfoot, Idaho, which is about 250 miles east of Boise. The facility has a baby box on site which triggers an alarm when a child is placed inside.
