Mother Arrested in 2005 Cold Case of Baby Found Dead at Phoenix Airport

Annie Anderson, the mother of Baby Skylar, whose body was found in a trash bin at Phoenix airport in 2005, has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder after genetic evidence led to her identification. The newborn girl had been suffocated and wrapped in newspapers and a towel before being stuffed into a plastic bag. The case had remained unsolved for over 18 years until the Phoenix police partnered with the F.B.I. to use genetic genealogy, ultimately leading to Anderson's arrest in Washington State.
