The Warrensburg Police Department is assisting the University of Central Missouri Police Department with the investigation surrounding the body of an infant that was found Tuesday, March 4 in a cave at Pertle Springs, a public recreation area located south of campus. Law enforcement personnel were called to the scene after students, who were conducting research at the cave, made the discovery.
An autopsy was conducted on Wednesday, March 5. Results that were made available that afternoon to law enforcement determined that the infant was Caucasian. To further aid in the investigation, law enforcement personnel are requesting assistance from the public.
Investigators are interested in learning about a near full-term pregnant woman who planned to give birth sometime in the February to early March 2014 time-frame and may have had suspicious circumstances surrounding the birth.
