“We know it [the birth] was sometime today,” Holeman said by phone Thursday night. Holeman said no one was in custody, but that an arrest warrant could be served late Thursday. A 21-year-old woman believed to be the baby’s mother was under guard at a Athens hospital late Thursday.
A 911 caller reported shortly after 1 p.m. that the baby was lifeless inside a Great Oak Drive home, on the east side of Athens, Asst. Chief Fred Stephens with Athens-Clarke County police said in news release. Emergency responders were dispatched the home, where they found the deceased baby.
