COLUMBIA, Ill. (AP) -- Authorities investigating a southern Illinois woman accused of trying to drown her baby in a toilet have found the remains of another infant at her home.
Twenty-three-year-old Elyse Mamino was arrested last week on charges that she tried to drown her newborn last year. That child is now in state custody.
Belleville police Capt. Don Sax says authorities were searching her home when they found another infant's remains. Those remains date back more than a year and no charges have been filed in that case.
It was not clear whether Mamino has an attorney.
Police say that in November, Mamino gave birth at a house southwest of Belleville in Columbia. Someone called 911 to report it and emergency workers saved the child.
