ALT: ‘She literally was welcomed into the world only to be murdered’: Mom of newborn found stuffed in airport trash arrested

ALT II: Mom in town for ‘real estate boot camp’ sneaked murdered newborn into Arizona airport, stuffed baby in bathroom trash then boarded flight out of state: Police

A 51-year-old woman has been arrested for allegedly bringing her murdered newborn with her to an Arizona airport, stuffing the child’s remains in a women’s restroom trash can, and then hopping on a flight out of state.

Annie Anderson was taken into custody in Washington state and awaiting extradition back to Maricopa County where she has formally been charged with one count of first-degree murder in the tragic 2005 slaying of her daughter, who came to be known as “Baby Skylar.”

The Baby Skylar case began on Oct. 10, 2005, when a newborn infant was found dead inside of a trash can bathroom in Terminal Four of the Sky Harbor International Airport, Sergeant Rob Scherer of the Phoenix Police Department’s Public Affairs Bureau said during a Tuesday news briefing on Anderson’s arrest.

When they arrived at the scene, they found a female newborn wrapped in newspapers and a white towel, stuffed in a plastic bag with red “Marriot” lettering. The child was pronounced dead at the scene.

The homicide unit responded to the scene and opened what became an extensive investigation into the child’s death. When all leads were exhausted, the case was handed to the cold case homicide unit. That unit, in 2020, began working with the FBI Violent Crime Task Force which “directly resulted in the identification of the mother and suspect in this case,” Scherer said.

Police said the evidence gathered in the case showed that Baby Skylar likely was not born at the airport. Rather, they believe she was born and killed elsewhere, then brought to the airport by Anderson, who dumped the newborn’s body in a bathroom trash can before boarding a plane and flying out of the state. Investigators were able to collect DNA evidence from the child’s mother, which was entered into the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS), which is a series of national DNA databases maintained by the FBI.
