A second woman has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder in the death of a newborn found dead in the back of a pickup in Strasburg, authorities said Wednesday.
Twenty-three-year-old Jennifer Lynn Teeters, who authorities described as a friend of the infant’s mother, is scheduled to appear in Arapahoe County court on Monday to be advised of her charges.
The infant’s mother, Christie Lee Cole, 23, also faces first-degree murder in addition to child abuse charges.
The infant was found dead last week amid trash in the back of a 1971 Chevrolet truck at the Country Gardens Mobile Home Park near Strasburg.
Cole, who authorities said gave birth to a full-term, or near-full-term, child in October, was arrested and is being held at the county jail without bail.
