17-year-old Haskell student accused of killing her infant
By the Kansan Staff
The Douglas County District Attorney's office Friday filed a complaint in Douglas County District Court against a 17-year-old woman, alleging that she killed her newborn baby on or about Aug. 31.
Martha Renee Lacapa, a student at Haskell Indian Junior College, will appear before the juvenile division of Douglas County District Court at 9 a.m. Oct. 24. She has been detained in the juvenile section of Douglas County jail.
The newborn son was found Tuesday evening between concrete culverts on the west section of the Haskell campus. A doctor at the hospital and arrested her Wednesday evening.
An autopsy performed Wednesday morning did not reveal the cause of death. Alan Sanders, deputy county coroner, has said the body was too badly decomposed to reveal the cause of death.
Lacapa had told the police she was 18, but when police reviewed her background, they discovered she was 17.

The 37-year-old woman told police Thursday that she was walking near Rusty's Hillcrest, Ninth and Iowa streets, about 1 p.m. Thursday when she was met with comments to her, police said. The youth then pulled her from the parking lot.
