Jennifer Matter left her newborn baby to die on the banks of the Mississippi River in 2003. She recently pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.
KMSP-TV reported that a coroner determined the baby's death was a homicide, but his cause of death was undetermined.
"I left on the beach, walked away, got into my car, and drove away with no intention of returning," Matter said in the plea agreement. According to the criminal complaint, Matter said she hoped someone who lived nearby would find him alive.Investigators said DNA samples tied both infants to Matter by a genealogy search that led to potential relatives in Goodhue County.
