a premature baby was born earlier this week in a tent in the woods of Manchester, New HampshireThe child's mother, identified as Alexandra Eckersley, has been accused of lying to first responders about the baby's whereabouts for around an hour, after calling 911 for help. She's the daughter of Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher and longtime Red Sox announcer Dennis Eckersley.Baby Born in Harsh ConditionsSign up for NECN newsletters.
After nearly an hour, police say Eckersley revealed the baby's true location and led officers to a different area. Once they found the newborn, the baby was treated on scene by EMT's and then taken to Catholic Medical Center in Manchester. Eckersley is facing charges that include felony assault, endangering the welfare of a child and more, court documents showed.Investigators allege Eckersley did it because she and her boyfriend didn't want to give the location of the tent, in an encampment for the unhoused, where she was living. Asked why she hadn't taken the baby with her, she said,"What do they tell when a plane goes down? Save yourself first," according to an affidavit filed in court.
She told officials she hadn't known she was pregnant, though a confidante later said Eckersley had told her a week earlier she was pregnant, and about four or five months along, investigators said in the documents. "I don't think it's unreasonable at all that she was disoriented, confused, possibly suffering from hypothermia if she had just given birth outside in the elements," attorney Jordan Strand said.
