Police sketch identifies Baby Angel

The police sketch I wrote about yesterday worked - this is the one in which the artist used morgue photos of the child.

"Family members had contacted authorities, saying her son matched the description of a boy found Friday at an Albuquerque playground." AJC

The mom, Tiffany Toribio, had suffocated her young son, then had second thoughts about what she had done. She then performed CPR on her son to bring him back, then decided to go through with killing him. She buried his body in a shallow grave under playground equipment. The child's body had been damaged so much by being in the sand that the photos weren't usable to show to the public. The drawing brought in the leads. The mother is under suicide watch - she has already tried to kill herself.
