What the record says

On 04/04/2013, LCSO Deputies were called to the area of Awsley Court and Carrollton Road, in Sterling, VA. A resident walking along the path observed what appeared to be a naked deceased baby in a pond. An autopsy conducted by the Office of the Medical Examiner reported the baby as a full-term, female newborn. The baby's ethnicity could not be immediately identified.
