I started sleuthing this yesterday, before the mother's name was released (I found her on Alameda County's list of inmates; she was the only 23 year old female charged with murder) and haven't gotten anywhere - Ashley Newton is such a common name. Horrible, horrible story though. Possible PPD? RIP poor little guy
