Authorities in Texas have made an arrest in a cold case involving the death of a newborn baby girl, known as “Angel Baby Doe,” who was found abandoned along a roadside in November 2001. Shelby Stotts has been indicted on a 2nd-degree manslaughter charge after DNA testing identified her as the baby’s mother. It is alleged that Stotts abandoned the infant without seeking medical care or clamping the umbilical cord, resulting in the baby bleeding to death. The case, which remained unsolved for over two decades, involved extensive investigative efforts and genetic genealogy research to identify Stotts as the mother of the deceased newborn.
