PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA: The mother of "Baby June" has been arrested, the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said on Thursday, December 15, 2022, ending a four-year-old mysterious case. The infant was discovered dead in the Boynton Beach inlet on June 1, 2018, at around 1.30 pm and was given the moniker "Baby June" by Sheriff's office as she wasn't officially identified. It was believed she could have drifted up from as far south as Broward County, according to investigators. The infant's body was found floating in the sea by an off-duty firefighter.
The baby girl was between four to seven days old and her body was floating in the ocean for six to 18 hours before being discovered. It's not yet clear how the baby ended up in the water. The Palm Beach County Sheriff's office was scheduled to hold a news conference at 12.30 pm on Thursday to provide more information, while no additional details about the mother's arrest have been released yet. The Sheriff's office had offered a $10,000 reward for information about the case.
