Officials say a newborn baby girl found in
a backpack in a West Memphis parking lot on Thursday is doing well at a
hospital.
The child was found in a parking lot along Arkansas 77.
Officials say the infant`s umbilical cord was still attached.
Police had received a call telling them a child had been
abandoned in a backpack in the bed of a pickup truck parked on a
lot near a hospital. But the truck`s owner, a nurse at the
hospital, had driven to a plant nursery a few miles away, where a
worker heard a cry, opened the backpack and found the infant.
