WHITEWATER, Wis. (AP) — Police say the body of a dead newborn child found abandoned in a southerrn Wisconsin field earlier this month was that of a boy. Whitewater Police Chief Daniel Meyer said in a news release Monday the newborn was found March 4 in a plastic bag inside a cardboard box, wrapped in a light-colored shirt and wearing no additional clothing. Meyer says investigators believe the child was placed in the field less than 48 hours before he was found. Police ask the public to come forward with any information about the baby’s death or his parents. They are asked to contact police at 262-473-0555, option 4.
