A
17-year-old girl told police she gave birth to a baby six months ago
and stashed the tiny body in the trunk of her car after a mechanic
made the grisly discovery yesterday.
Shelby
police Chief Charlie Roub said the girl told investigators last night
she didn't know she was pregnant and gave birth at home in late
January or early February.
It
is not known if the baby was stillborn or born healthy. she wrapped
it in a blanket and put it in the trunk.
The
baby's body was found inside a copy paper box by an employee at the
northern Ohio repair shop after he noticed a strange smell coming
from the trunk.
The
girl is a local resident and student. She has not been taken into
custody or arrested.
The
car, a Mazda, belongs to a family member, the chief said. They do not
know the gender of the baby.
An
autopsy will determine the cause of death.
The
girl gave the police the name of the baby's father but they do not
think he knew she was pregnant.
Mechanic
Ronnie Hamilton said: 'The odor was so bad I decided to get curious
and open up the box and that's when I noticed the baby'
Lord
have mercy, things dey happen oh.
