A woman living in Colorado was charged with the murder of a newborn baby found in California after DNA proved the baby was her daughter.

Angela Onduto, 46, was arrested in Denver on July 2 after murder charges were formally filed in connection with the death of a newborn baby in Union City, California, in 2009. In a Facebook post, Union City police said that the baby girl was found dead in a dumpster behind an apartment complex. Police said that Onduto was initially a person of interest in the investigation, but she was never arrested and the case went cold.

Years after the baby was found, DNA connected her to Onduto, her birth mother, authorities said.

In May, on what would have been the baby”s 16th birthday, police tracked Onduto down in Denver and coordinated with local law enforcement in the area. Onduto was arrested but released pending formal charges.

After formal murder charges were filed by the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office on July 2, Onduto was arrested again and taken into custody in Colorado. She is expected to be extradited to Alameda County, where she allegedly killed her newborn daughter.
