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 taken into custody in Denver on July 2 following murder charges linked to the death of a newborn in Union City, California, back in 2009. According to a Facebook post by Union City police, the body of the infant girl was found in a dumpster behind an apartment complex. Initially, Onduto was considered a person of interest, but she was not apprehended, and the case became inactive.

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

In May, coinciding with what would have been the baby’s 16th birthday, authorities located Onduto in Denver, collaborating with local officials there. She was arrested but subsequently released while awaiting formal charges.

Once formal murder charges were issued by the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office on July 2, Onduto was taken into custody once more in Colorado. Plans are underway for her extradition to Alameda County, where she is accused of allegedly murdering her newborn daughter.
