A woman has been arrested in connection with a newborn baby girl who was left and found dead inside a gas station toilet earlier this year, authorities announced late Wednesday.

Guadalupe Zavala Lopez, 25, currently stands accused of one felony count of tampering with evidence – human corpse, according to the Houston Police Department. Additional charges may be in the offing.

The defendant was arrested on Tuesday at a bus station in Brownsville, according to a press release issued by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, whose agents made the arrest.

Federal authorities described Zavala Lopez as a Mexican national and “migrant who overstayed her visitor visa and was successfully taken into custody.” The CBP press release goes on to describe her as “a homicide suspect attempting to flee to Mexico,” however, homicide charges have not been filed in Houston as of this writing.

What’s known so far is both sad and grim.

On April 2, a customer went to use the restroom at a Shell station in southwest Houston in the middle of the night. There, they found the child inside the toilet. Houston Fire Department paramedics determined the girl had been dead for over an hour by that time.

During a press conference announcing the efforts to obtain the public’s help in the case by releasing the video, HPD Homicide Detective Calab Bowling said the woman on the video was in the gas station for roughly 15 minutes before she left.

“No one else went inside that bathroom, and [the newborn] was not there when she walked in before,” Browning said, clarifying later that witness statements also supported that understanding of events. “It appears that she gave birth in the restroom.”

A determination regarding the child’s cause of death is still pending with the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences.

If the baby was born alive and left to drown or die in the toilet bowel they need to throw the book at this monster.

if they are unable to determine the cause of death they need to deport her and tell her if she comes ack she will get a ten year prison sentence and then be deported again.

She is likely a shithead that never flushes either.
Thump her.

I am surprised she didn't try to use the baby as an anchor baby to stay in the US.

And throws her dirty used toilet tissue on the floor in the stall, instead of in the toilet
