MARYVILLE, Mo. - The Maryville Police Department announced that they have identified a person of interest in the case of a deceased baby found at Mozingo Lake Recreation Park last month.
Interim Police Chief Mike Stolte revealed on Wednesday that the individual is "non-local" and that they are awaiting DNA analysis from the Missouri State Highway Patrol Crime Lab.
Once the DNA and autopsy results are received, the case will be forwarded to the Nodaway County Prosecutor’s Office.
The potential charges depend on the autopsy results, including whether the infant was alive when left at Mozingo. The male baby was found back on May 25 by a park employee performing routine maintenance.
The investigation remains active and ongoing.
