   A woman has been arrested in Washington state for murder in a cold case   
   involving the death of her newborn baby at an Arizona airport almost 20   
   years ago, authorities announced this week.   
      
   The newborn's body was found in the trash in a woman's restroom at Sky   
   Harbor Airport in Phoenix on Oct. 10, 2005, wrapped inside a plastic bag   
   with the red Marriott hotel logo. It was determined at the time that the   
   newborn, who was about one day old when she died, had not been born in   
   the airport bathroom but was abandoned there. A medical examiner later   
   ruled the baby's death a homicide by suffocation, according to police.   
      
   The infant became known to the public as "Baby Skylar." Despite   
   widespread media attention, no suspects were named and homicide   
   detectives said the case "went cold after all leads were exhausted."   
      
   But modern forensic testing on the baby's body several years ago helped   
   law enforcement to identify a potential maternal match, which led them   
   to 51-year-old Annie Anderson, the suspect now charged in the baby's   
   death. She was visiting Phoenix in October 2005 for a "real estate boot   
   camp," Lt. James Hester of the Phoenix Police Department told reporters   
   at a news conference Tuesday.   
      
   Anderson admitted during an interview with investigators in January 2022   
   that she was Baby Skylar's mother, the Phoenix Police Department said in   
   a news release issued Monday and obtained by CBS News. Investigators had   
   traveled to Washington state around that time to execute a search   
   warrant for Anderson after forensic tests were done several months   
   earlier.   
      
   Agents with the FBI Phoenix Violent Crime Task Force worked with Phoenix   
   Police cold case detectives to arrange those tests in November 2021. In   
   addition to reviewing existing evidence in the case, which included DNA   
   samples collected from the airport bathroom that were determined to   
   belong to the baby's mother, the investigators used genetic genealogy to   
   help pinpoint DNA samples that could help find her. Once a potential   
   match was found, they were able to cross-reference it with evidence   
   originally discovered at the crime scene to identify Anderson as a   
   suspect.   
      
   At Tuesday's briefing, Special Agent Dan Horan, who supervises the FBI   
   Phoenix Violent Crime Task Force, described genealogy testing an   
   "identity resolution technique" that uses a publicly available genealogy   
   database to link family matches to an unknown profile. In Baby Skylar's   
   case, the genealogy tests identified "someone in the family tree" who   
   subsequently consented to their DNA sample being used on a one-time   
   basis to push the investigation along and eventually identify Anderson.   
   Horan declined to share details about the relative.   
      
   A grand jury in Maricopa County ultimately issued an arrest warrant for   
   Anderson, on a first-degree murder charge, and she is now in custody in   
   Washington state, police said. Anderson is being held in Washington as   
   she waits to be extradited back to Arizona. She is expected to face   
   multiple felony charges when she returns to Phoenix, police said.
