ABC7 Los Angeles • • nation
Key Points:
- Authorities in Monterey County revealed new details in the case of "Baby Angelita," an infant found dead on the roadside, involving the alleged sexual abuse of a 14-year-old girl and the death of her newborn.
- DNA evidence confirmed that the infant was fathered by the girl's father, Sergio Galvez Perez, who fled to Mexico and was subsequently arrested there.
- The 14-year-old mother was found safe in Mexico, and investigators believe the infant died on August 1 after being likely run over by a car driven by the teen.
- Investigators found a large blood stain near the infant's body, suggesting the baby was moved from the birth site to under the vehicle; no evidence implicates the father in the infant’s death.
- The teenage mother’s mother has also been arrested, but no formal charges have been filed yet in the case.
