A New York woman was released on her own recognizance Tuesday after she was charged with concealing a human corpse, that of her stillborn baby.
According to Watervliet Police, an “exhaustive investigation” revealed that 23-year-old Kyleigh Sawyer was the mom of a baby whose skeletal remains were found buried in a shallow grave last summer.
