HALIFAX COUNTY, Va. – There are still lots of questions unanswered after a baby was found dead in Halifax County.
“It’s pretty eerie,” one neighbor said. She chose not to be on camera or share her name.
“It’s kind of too close to home I wish there was something I could have done,” she said.
Halifax County authorities said they got a call Tuesday evening around 6 about an infant who was possibly dead in a yard on Hummingbird Lane.
When they arrived at the home, the Sheriff’s Office said they found the deceased infant.
Authorities were then able to identify the mother of the infant, who they said is a minor.
“I pray for the mother more than anything, the juvenile mother she’s the one who has to live with this for the rest of her life,” the neighbor said.
Deputies said the investigation is ongoing and the infant’s remains have been sent to the medical examiner’s office.
