DuPage County Sheriff: Tests on abandoned newborn found dead near Wheaton provide possible profile of parents - Illegal Beaners

DuPage County authorities say the DNA of a dead newborn indicates that her parents were Hispanic, and further tests show that her mother was taking a medication prescribed for epilepsy or bipolar disorders.

Sheriff's police also released approximations of what the parents of the child, who has been dubbed "Baby Hope," may look like.

Authorities released the information Thursday at a news briefing, and police hope it will provide further details about the death of the child, whose body was found in a backpack along a wooded private drive near Wheaton on Aug. 15.

"Somebody out there knows something, and they need to come forward and let us know," Sgt. Jeff Christiansen of the DuPage County sheriff's police said.
