. [b]Ashley with her first child
A 22 year old Iowa woman, Ashley
Hautzenrader, gave birth to a baby on May 8,
around 9:30pm at the John Colloton Pavillion
at the University of Iowa Hospitals and
Clinics in Iowa City, then she proceeded to
flush her newborn baby down the toilet, after
which she put the child in a pillowcase, before
leaving the baby for dead in a hospital trash
can.
Hautzenrader has now been arrested and
charged with attempted murder. She is facing
the new charge in addition to a previous
charge of child endangerment according to
The Des Moines Register and the University of
Iowa police.

Fortunately, a hospital employee found the
newborn alive a short while later, but the
baby's condition is currently unknown.
Hautzenrader, of Davenport, Iowa, admitted
to police officers that she had left the child in
the trash because she thought it was dead.
She said after giving birth in the restroom and
putting her child in the trash, she cleaned up
and left the scene.
When police officers found her, she told them
that she had believed the baby was stillborn
because the child did not cry, according to the
criminal complaint.

She also claimed to have not realized she was
pregnant when she entered the restroom.
UIHC spokesman Tom Moore previously refused
to tell the baby's gender and further details
about this incident, citing federal patient
privacy laws.
Hautzenrader has a daughter she gave birth
to sometime in 2014, who has several health
issues including wearing a breathing tube
attached to her nose and a tracheotomy.
Court records show an order from May 2015
after Hautzenrader petitioned for paternity
and child support for a baby girl she
previously gave birth to.
She has been charged with child
endangerment in regards to her first child-
and faces up to two years in prison if
convicted.

Meanwhile she faces up to 25 years in jail if
convicted for the attempted murder charge of
her newborn baby.
Hautzenrader, who is set to appear in court on
June 9, has been ordered not to have contact
with the new child she tried to kill.[/b]
