In 1984, a mother abandoned her newborn daughter in a plastic bag near a stream in Mendham Township, New Jersey, on Christmas Eve, leading to the baby’s death.
The infant, named "Mary" by a local priest, was buried in the church cemetery, with police raising money for a gravestone.
For decades, detectives pursued the case, and an annual Christmas Eve service was held at the gravesite.
In 2023, modern DNA testing led authorities to Snyder, now Mary Crumlich, a 57-year-old married mother living in South Carolina.
She pled guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to a year in jail. The baby’s father, unaware of the pregnancy, passed away in 2009.
