Police have located and are questioning the mother of an infant found buried in a bag in Druid Hill Park over the weekend, according to a source.
The father of the 2-month-old boy told police that his son had been buried in the park by the baby's mother sometime in February, according to a law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation. The father was able to tell police where and how deep the body was buried, and police located the body inside of a bag.
Police were awaiting the results of an autopsy to determine an official cause of death.
After the discovery of the body, police began searching for the mother. She was picked up late Monday afternoon and taken to the homicide section to be interviewed, the source said.
Also Monday, police located a baby carrier and a blanket that the father said had been thrown off a bridge prior to the baby being buried, the source said.
Detectives have been questioning both parents, who are in their 30s, about the baby's death.
The boy's body was found in a wooded area a few hundred feet away from the road, police said. The location of the body was given as 700 Druid Park Lake Drive, a general address given for the park, and police officials said they did not have a more precise location.
