Baby Girl's Body Found in Dumpster in Fresno

An autopsy is scheduled for today for a fetus found early Friday in the trash container of a west-central Fresno apartment complex. A resident of the Ashmark Arms apartments found the full-term female fetus wrapped in a blood-soaked bed comforter while he dumped garbage about 3:15 a.m., Fresno police Lt. Dennis Bridges said.

A Memorial at the dumpster site was set up. Pictures to follow. Notice how the reporters say "full term female fetus" which means a BABY for God's sake! Sheeeesh.

I have photos of the dumpster site and the memorial. The dumpster is located at the Ashmark Arms Apartments at Ashland and Marks in Fresno, CA.

Lager and I went over there and just wept. Imagine dumping a baby's body in a DUMPSTER.

I think her little body was found by a "dumpster diver" in the middle of the night.

So very sad . . . poor little girl. Pictures to follow.

I emailed the photos to Mama_Bear and her hubby jkphoto. I someone else wants me to email the photos to them I'll do it. I don't know how to post them here but I do know how to email them. Thanks. Poor little baby girl.

I have photos of the dumpster and the little memorial but don't know how to get them from my email to FR.

[Mama_Bear]

Hi Sis. I just e-mailed you the link to them. They are in an album in my Fotki account. All you need to do is copy and paste the image source code. Let me know if you have any problems.

full term female fetus

I'm speechless. That is the most horrid comment I've every read.

[Saundra Duffy]

I love you, Sis! Thank you!!! Be right back. They are really touching photos.

This is so sad Saundra. I was hoping when I first heard the news that the baby was found alive, but later heard she wasn't. Wish the parents had just called me, I would have taken her in a second, as I am sure you would have.
Although I am glad that they allow parents to give up the babies, I don't think they should have 2 weeks to get them back!

[Mama_Bear]

Yes, they are heartbreaking. I am just sick over this.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Ugh!

Pending autopsy results, it could become a homicide or misdemeanor improper disposal of human remains

Improper disposal of human remains, eh? Does Planned Butcherhood have a guide on proper disposal?

[Saundra Duffy]

"Full term female fetus". I'm gonna call the reporters tomorrow and ask them how on earth they came up with that ridiculous description of a BABY. Sheeeesh.

[Saundra Duffy]

Working on the pictures. Having trouble. Thanks for your help, Mama_Bear.

[Mama_Bear]

Okay, the album is now unlocked.

[Saundra Duffy]

Could you go ahead and post the pics, Sis? One is of Lager starting the project by putting up a little shelf. Then we put teddy bears and stuffed animals and a little sign and angels and stuff. Yes, it is absolutely heart-breaking. I am going to call the local Right to Life folks and see if we can get the body for jproper burial.

[Saundra Duffy]

Oh, okay, the album is unlocked. I'll be right back. Thanks again, Sis!!
