Officer Bill Cassell says a worker reported finding human remains about 8 a.m. Wednesday at the Rancho Mesa Apartments, near the North Las Vegas Airport.
Cassell says police believe the baby was left there within 24 hours of when it was found, but were still trying to determine the baby's age, gender, race, and cause of death.
At this point we don't know if the baby was thrown in the trash can alive or dead, Or who did it.
We do know that the child is somewhere between three- and six-months-old and was found wrapped up inside the trash dumpster. The baby was covered and officers were unable to immediately tell if this was a boy or a girl.
