Inconclusive autopsy of baby found in New York shopping bag

NEW YORK — An autopsy of a baby found in a teenage girl's shopping bag at a New York City lingerie store was inconclusive, and more tests will be needed to determine how it died, the city medical examiner's office confirmed Saturday.

The needed tests could take a few weeks as police continue to look into the case, officials said.

Preliminary reports from detectives were that the baby was born alive and possibly had been asphyxiated, but chief New York Police Department spokesman John McCarthy said the case was still being investigated and that police were awaiting the medical examiner's determination of the cause of death.

The case began Thursday when a security guard stopped Tiana Rodriguez and Francis Estevez, both 17, to examine their bags at a Victoria's Secret store in midtown Manhattan. The guard found the dead baby in a bag Rodriguez was carrying, police said.

Rodriguez told detectives she was carrying the remains because she had delivered a day earlier and didn't know what to do, authorities said. Police believe Rodriguez delivered at Estevez's house.

Both girls were arrested on petty larceny charges. It was unclear whether either has a lawyer.

Rodriguez was taken to a hospital and remained there Saturday, and a woman who answered the phone at a possible home number for her said she knew nothing about the matter.

A woman who said she was Estevez's mother said she hadn't spoken with her daughter since her arrest and hung up.

The Associated Press is identifying both teens because in New York, the legal system treats older teens as adults, and their cases are handled in criminal courts. Suspects between 7 and 15 may be charged as juveniles and their cases handled in family courts.

One of Rodriguez's neighbors, Zami Ford, told the Daily News she was unaware of the teen's pregnancy and stunned by the allegations.

"She's a good girl," Ford told the newspaper. "I can't believe she would do that."
