A woman has been arrested in Washington state for murder in a cold case
involving the death of her newborn baby at an Arizona airport almost 20
years ago, authorities announced this week.

The newborn's body was found in the trash in a woman's restroom at Sky
Harbor Airport in Phoenix on Oct. 10, 2005, wrapped inside a plastic bag
with the red Marriott hotel logo. It was determined at the time that the
newborn, who was about one day old when she died, had not been born in
the airport bathroom but was abandoned there. A medical examiner later
ruled the baby's death a homicide by suffocation, according to police.

The infant became known to the public as "Baby Skylar." Despite
widespread media attention, no suspects were named and homicide
detectives said the case "went cold after all leads were exhausted."

But modern forensic testing on the baby's body several years ago helped
law enforcement to identify a potential maternal match, which led them
to 51-year-old Annie Anderson, the suspect now charged in the baby's
death. She was visiting Phoenix in October 2005 for a "real estate boot
camp," Lt. James Hester of the Phoenix Police Department told reporters
at a news conference Tuesday.

Anderson admitted during an interview with investigators in January 2022
that she was Baby Skylar's mother, the Phoenix Police Department said in
a news release issued Monday and obtained by CBS News. Investigators had
traveled to Washington state around that time to execute a search
warrant for Anderson after forensic tests were done several months
earlier.

Agents with the FBI Phoenix Violent Crime Task Force worked with Phoenix
Police cold case detectives to arrange those tests in November 2021. In
addition to reviewing existing evidence in the case, which included DNA
samples collected from the airport bathroom that were determined to
belong to the baby's mother, the investigators used genetic genealogy to
help pinpoint DNA samples that could help find her. Once a potential
match was found, they were able to cross-reference it with evidence
originally discovered at the crime scene to identify Anderson as a
suspect.

At Tuesday's briefing, Special Agent Dan Horan, who supervises the FBI
Phoenix Violent Crime Task Force, described genealogy testing an
"identity resolution technique" that uses a publicly available genealogy
database to link family matches to an unknown profile. In Baby Skylar's
case, the genealogy tests identified "someone in the family tree" who
subsequently consented to their DNA sample being used on a one-time
basis to push the investigation along and eventually identify Anderson.
Horan declined to share details about the relative.

A grand jury in Maricopa County ultimately issued an arrest warrant for
Anderson, on a first-degree murder charge, and she is now in custody in
Washington state, police said. Anderson is being held in Washington as
she waits to be extradited back to Arizona. She is expected to face
multiple felony charges when she returns to Phoenix, police said.
