An 18-year-old Ohio woman has been charged with reckless
homicide after investigators say they found the remains of her newborn
baby buried outside her family home earlier this month.
On July
14, acting on a tip from a doctor's office, police say they found the
body of Brooke Skylar Richardson's baby in a backyard in Carlisle, Ohio,
about 40 miles north of Cincinnati.
One week later, on July 21,
the Warren County prosecutor charged Richardson with homicide based on
evidence that her infant "was born alive and was not a stillborn baby,"
the
Dayton Daily News reports.
Investigators believe Richardson killed her baby around May 7, though
they are still waiting for a final report from the coroner's office on
the cause of death.
Police returned to the property July
20 and arrested Richardson. They also searched for additional evidence
around that time, including digging near a fire pit in the yard,
WDTN reports.
At Richardson's arraignment on Friday, the judge scheduled a
preliminary hearing for Aug. 1. Richardson had already entered a
not-guilty plea, and the judge continued her $15,000 bond.
If
convicted, the recent high school graduate faces between one to five
years in prison. After the arraignment, Richardson's attorney, Charles
M. Rittgers, called his client a "very good person." "She didn’t drink.
She wasn’t a partier or a smoker," Rittgers said.
"By all measures a very good girl who helped children."

itself, is a relatively interesting piece of news—although incidents
(crashes or otherwise) involving small planes
aren't exceptionally uncommon. But this plane was especially noteworthy for one major reason: It sported Nazi markings.
