MADERA COUNTY – A teenager sits behind bars tonight facing murder charges after deputies find her newborn wrapped in a plastic bag, stuffed in a cabinet below the bathroom sink inside a home on Chapin Street near Avenue 16 in Madera.
According to reports, the 17-year old girl (whose name is not being released) showed up at an area hospital last Friday, where doctors discovered she was suffering from postpartum bleeding. When asked where her baby was, the young woman denied ever giving birth.
