WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP) — Waukesha police hope DNA evidence might help crack the cold-case death of an infant from more than 40 years ago. The body of a baby girl was found in a storm drain in the Milwaukee suburb on Jan. 6, 1975. The baby’s parents — and whoever placed her there — have never been identified. The community held a burial service for the girl, named “Baby Sarah,” and the investigation eventually was suspended. But the case was reopened last year. The baby’s body was exhumed and a DNA sample was taken. The sample is being analyzed for a DNA profile. Police said the baby weighed 9 pounds when she was found, and her lungs showed she had been breathing. Her official cause of death was exposure.
