Matter, 50, of Red Wing, was taken into custody Monday morning. She faces second-degree murder charges in the case of a baby boy discovered at the Methodist Campus Beach in Frontenac in December 2003.
. The charging documents allege Jennifer Matter was also the mother of another baby found in the Mississippi River in 1999.
Both cases went unsolved for decades. Goodhue County Sheriff Marty Kelly said the first case happened over 8,000 days ago. Last year, the Minnesota BCA Crime Lab was able to determine and identify the biological father of the infant found in 1999, and worked to establish that Matter was a person of interest. Investigators interviewed her in late April, and she denied knowing anything about either case. When they sampled her DNA sample on a search warrant last week, she again denied knowing about either baby.
She said she then gave birth at home in her bathroom and"freaked out" when she saw the baby was born"blue, was not breathing, and was not crying." She said she knew she should've sought help but that"her mind was not there." She wrapped the baby and, possibly a day later, left the baby's body at Bay Point Park in the middle of the night.
