Police making a routine traffic stop stumbled upon a gruesome and heartwrenching discovery, the woman they just pulled over had the body of a dead baby in the trunk of the car. Officers from the Jackson Police Department pulled the car over on Highway 43 and Alabama Highway 69 on Tuesday at around 3:15 p.m. because the car had expired license plates.
It was during a search of the vehicle that the body of a baby boy was found in the trunk of the car. The woman, who at first provided a false name, told police she was on her way to Walmart, according to Fox News.
The woman was later identified as Jalesa Gaines, who lives in McIntosh. Law enforcement officials said that the mother didn’t have a lot to say about what happened to the baby. When asked if the mother was remorseful over the death of her baby, Chief Jerry Taylor responded, “to a degree but not to the degree we’d expect.”
