A young mother was arrested over the weekend after a lengthy investigation ended with police concluding that she killed her newborn baby by depriving him of medical oxygen.
According to court documents, 18-year-old Estrella Meza-Ojeda gave birth to a premature baby boy on Aug. 6. He spent 22 days in the newborn intensive care unit before being sent home with Meza-Ojeda, who lived in a Wasatch County apartment with a roommate.
Then on Sep. 11, police were called to perform a welfare check on the child because Meza-Ojeda didn't bring him in for a follow-up appointment. They were unable to find her, so they called her phone number and left messages when she did not answer. Then last Tuesday, police found Meza-Ojeda at her new boyfriend's home in Kamas. She would not answer any questions about the baby, and asked the officers to not mention the baby when her boyfriend arrived because he did not know about the birth.
Police obtained a search warrant on Wednesday for Meza-Ojeda's smartphone. On it, they said they discovered search engine histories such as"how much time will I serve in prison for killing my baby,""taking a baby's life,""holy death," Kamas sewage treatment plant,""Salt Lake solid waste," and"garbage dumps near me." They said these searches began on Sep.
