Mother of 'Angel Baby Doe' charged more than 20 years after newborn found dead on side of road in Texas

A Texas woman has been charged more than two decades after her newborn baby was found dead and abandoned on the side of a road, authorities said Tuesday. 

Shelby Stotts was indicted for second-degree manslaughter after she was identified as the child's mother through DNA enhancement technology in the cold case. 

"After more than twenty years, we are closer to securing justice for Angel Baby Doe and ensuring that the person responsible for this tragedy is held accountable," Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a statement.
