'(KWNO)-Winona County Sheriff’s Office investigators have identified a 41-year-old Winona woman as a possible DNA match for a baby found in the Mississippi River near Homer in 2011. The newborn was wrapped in a t-shirt with three angel figurines and given the name ‘Baby Angel.’

“We did a trash pull, we got something that we could use for DNA. We used that to get the search warrant, (then) we went to her and she consented gave us the swab. We have taken that to the BCA, a known sample from her, and we’re waiting for the results to come back,” said Winona County Sheriff Ron Ganrude.

''A non-profit genetic genealogy company, Firebird Forensics Group, has been assisting the sheriff’s office with the ongoing investigation.''
