A Clay County woman has been charged with murder after a dead baby was found in a garbage bag.
Amber Bowling, 21, of Manchester, is accused of leaving her baby in a garbage bag outside an apartment complex. An autopsy showed the baby suffered from cranial bleeding and fractured ribs, according to media reports.
Bowling told investigators she gave birth Sunday, put the baby in a trash bag and threw the newborn over the upstairs banister of the apartment complex.
She was arrested on Wednesday and lodged in the Clay County Detention Center.
