A woman living in Colorado was charged with the murder of a newborn baby found in California after DNA proved the baby was her daughter.

Angela Onduto, 46, was arrested in Denver on July 2 after murder charges were formally filed in connection with the death of a newborn baby in Union City, California, in 2009. In a Facebook post, Union City police said that the baby girl was found dead in a dumpster behind an apartment complex. Police said that Onduto was initially a person of interest in the investigation, but she was never arrested and the case went cold.

Years after the baby was found, DNA connected her to Onduto, her birth mother, authorities said.
