Autopsy: Newborn’s mother died from ‘homicidal violence’

Korena Roberts, 28, is charged with murder in Snively’s death. She was scheduled to appear in court Monday afternoon.

Medics received a call Friday from Roberts’ Washington County, Oregon, home of a newborn in distress, authorities said. When they arrived, they found Roberts’ boyfriend trying to revive the baby boy. Roberts told deputies the baby was hers, according to the county sheriff’s office.

Roberts and the baby were taken to a hospital after medics noticed a lot of blood at the home, officials said.

“Doctors at the hospital could not revive the baby,” said sheriff’s Sgt. David Thompson. “They also discovered that Ms. Roberts had not delivered the baby at any time in the recent past.”

Deputies returned to the home and found Snively’s body in a crawl space beneath the kitchen. Police said she had been pregnant; authorities determined she was the baby’s mother.
