GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.—A judge has set bail at $1 million for a woman charged with first-degree murder in the death of her newborn son.
Prosecutors say 22-year-old Morgan Hite of Wasilla, Alaska, secretly gave birth while visiting her family in Grand Junction in February. Authorities allege she wrapped the infant in a garbage bag, put him in a plastic tote and left him in a closet at her family’s home.
Authorities say Hite’s father and stepmother found the baby’s body on April 29.
A judge set Hite’s bail on Monday in her first appearance in a Colorado court. She had been extradited from Alaska.
