A North Carolina woman was nabbed nearly five decades after her dead baby girl was discovered stuffed in a trash bag at a local landfill – ending a desperate search for the newborn’s mother that began in 1979. Investigators reopened the decades-old cold case and used DNA evidence to tie Cathy McKee, 69, to the Columbus County landfill where the baby was found dead 47 years ago, according to the Columbus County Sheriff’s Office. Police arrested the derelict mom Tuesday, but didn’t disclose the baby’s cause of death.
