LANCASTER, Pa. - Police say an autopsy shows a baby found in a Lancaster trash bin was a newborn girl.

 

Investigators say Tuesday afternoon's autopsy revealed little else. Further tests are expected to show whether the baby was born alive and what caused her death.

 

Lancaster police are asking the child's mother or anyone with information about her to come forward.

 

Capt. John Flemming says investigators think someone must be aware of a woman who was pregnant and no longer has the child, and are hoping they will contact police.
