OCEAN SHORES The newborn found abandoned Friday night in an Ocean Shores vacant lot died as a result of a homicide, the Grays Harbor County Coroners Office ruled Sunday.
An autopsy was conducted on the newborn girl Sunday morning, Deputy Coroner Lane Youmans said in a statement: The Pathologist concluded that the baby died as a result of skull fractures and brain injuries due to blunt-force injury of the head. The manner of death is homicide............
A 21-year-old Grays Harbor woman was identified Saturday afternoon as the mother of the newborn baby, whose body was found Friday night discarded in bushes on the wooded lot about a half mile south of the Ocean Shores Airport........
Because of media coverage, there were some people who were familiar with her and some of the comments she made, so that led investigators to her, said Hoquiam Police Chief Jeff Myers, acting as the public information officer at the scene.
After the woman and her boyfriend were contacted authorities said they learned the couple had previously been staying at an Ocean Shores motel in the 600 block of Ocean Shores Boulevard..............
They do not live in Ocean Shores, he said. And after we talked to them, we brought them into Montesano for more formal interviews. At the same time, that information led investigators to the motel room where the birth actually occurred.
