INFANTICIDE: March 1, 1952 Vernal, Utah Baby John Doe

 On March 1, 1952, the body of a newborn baby boy was found near a gravel pile on the West end of Vernal City Dump in Utah. He was wrapped in layers of heavy brown paper that were partially burned away. The body was also slightly burned on the back and the right leg. No burning had happened in the dump recently though. It could not be determined how long the baby had been dead as he had been frozen solid. It could have been up to several weeks though. 

The baby appeared to have been born alive and normal. He weighed between 7 to 8lbs and was 18-inches long. The baby was white with a dark complexion.
