Police: Teen Hides Dead Newborn In Entertainment Center

Girl Charged With Murder

POSTED: Wednesday, July 26, 2006

A 17-year-old Colorado girl is facing a first-degree murder charge, accused by police of hiding her newborn baby in an entertainment center.

Police believe Cheyenne Corbett hid her pregnancy from her parents and delivered the baby in a shower early Sunday. Corbett was taken to the hospital for bleeding and workers called police after determining she had given birth.

She said she first started feeling pain while at band camp. Later, she told investigators that she was taking a shower and felt the urge to push, delivering her baby alone, Denver TV station KMGH reported.

She said she wrapped the baby in a towel and hid her, saying she planned to tell hospital workers where the baby was so they could help her.

An autopsy determined the baby died of asphyxiation.

Corbett is a Palisade High School student.
