October 8, 1994 Princeton, British Columbia, Canada The Princeton Angels



On October 8, 1994, the bodies of newborn twin girls were found inside a black garbage bag in a pit toilet at Allison Lake Provincial Park about 30 km north of Princeton, British Columbia, Canada, along Highway 5A. The girls were born alive and killed. It's believed that the mother did not receive aftercare as there were no hospital records supporting that. She may have come from another province and it's possible the mother was a victim herself. 

The twins are known as the Princeton Angels and a memorial plaque marks their burial in the Princeton Cemetary.

April 21,1926 Albuquerque, New Mexico Baby John Doe


On April 21, 1926, Mrs. Maria Martinez, her mother, and her sister went to a vacant house on 1120 North 3rd street in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She stated that she went to the home with the intention to buy it. Inside the body of a baby boy was found behind a bathtub. His cause of death is unknown, but he was less than a month old at death. 

I assume that  the baby was never identified as he was buried as Baby John Doe and his Find a Grave doesn't mention him being identified.

Around 3:40 p.m. on Feb. 3, 2005, a worker at the recycling center owned by Alba in 12623 Mahlsdorf, Hultschiner Damm 335 In Berlin, Germany found the body of an infant. It was determined that there was about 70 truckloads of recyclable waste delivered that day. 85% was from the entire city of Berlin and 5% from northern, southern, and eastern districts of Bradenburg. The other cargoes came from the districts of Güstrow in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Gifhorn in Lower Saxony and the city of Wolfsburg to Berlin.

The infant girl was found to have been born alive and was likely strangled a few minutes after birth. They then wrapped the baby in a towel and disposed of her. She was likely born in the 7th or 8th month of the pregnancy. 

She was wrapped in a pink terry towel with a flower motif. It was 90 by 70 inches. The label had "Modische Frottierwäsche" in red yarn.

March 30, 1881 Centerville, Iowa Newborn Girl

A woman posted a package in Camden and stated that the package was to be paid in Centerville, Iowa. On March 30, 1881, a package was delivered by the train. It was addressed to the county treasurer John Addison Pierson. He's gone to see if any packages were delivered for the county and did not expect this particular package. He paid for the pasteboard package and opened it in his office. Inside the package was a horrible sight the body of a newborn girl was wrapped in an old skirt.

It was obvious that the infant was born alive and was killed. The killer had put either concentrate lye or acid down the baby’s throat. Then the lye or acid was splattered on one side of her face and body. It was not a kind death.


It’s believed that the person who did this was possibly the infant's parents. It’s unknown why the crime wasn’t concealed and why it was sent to Centerville. Maybe they sent the body for a proper burial, but why murder the child in the first place then?
