On Monday, Dianne Curry Peck was indicted on a murder charge by a grand jury.
According to a 1985 report from sister station WCVB, hunters found the baby’s frozen body near a rock wall. An autopsy determined the 6-pound boy was alive when he was born and survived for a few hours.
Investigators also said a woman called police the night the baby was born to report a disturbance in the area. That woman was not identified.
Peck is scheduled to be arraigned at 10 a.m. Tuesday in Fall River Superior Court.
