Blue jeans discovered with the unborn fetus at the Whitfield County Landfill. The jeans are a size 5, brand name “No Boundaries.” A pair of women’s dark blue jeans with purple stitching is the primary lead for investigators as they search for the mother of a deceased fetus found Monday at the Whitfield County Landfill.
Greg Ramey, special agent in charge with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, said the No Boundaries brand jeans, size 5, may lead investigators to the mother.
“Our main concern is finding the mother,” Ramey said Wednesday afternoon. “It is a pretty traumatic event, and we want to make sure she is getting proper medical care.”
Investigators with the Whitfield County Sheriff’s Office and GBI have been searching for the mother since the fetus was discovered by two employees at the landfill.
The employees were routinely sorting through a large recycling container when they found the fetus — believed to be three to four months premature — in a plastic bag with a blanket and the pair of jeans. The container the employees were sorting through held a combination of recyclables from across Whitfield and Murray counties, and investigators believe the fetus was placed in one of the recycling containers that were scattered throughout the counties before Dec. 31.
