Lansing Mom Whose Baby Was Found Dead Has Been Arrested

LANSING (CBS Detroit) — Police say they've arrested a Lansing woman who was reported missing last week after authorities found the body of her 6-day-old daughter in her car earlier this month.

Lansing police announced Thursday morning that 35-year-old Ashley Shade was arrested without incident on previous criminal charges from several jurisdictions. She's jailed.

Police have said the Lansing woman's Toyota Camry was found parked March 19 but she wasn't there. Shade and the infant were missing since the night before. The Lansing State Journal has reported that police responded to a report of an unresponsive infant at an apartment, but Shade and the baby were gone.

Police have said the baby had no signs of injury or trauma on her body, but official cause of death was pending.
