Omaha Police Make Arrest in Abandoned Baby Case

OMAHA – Omaha Police have announced an arrest in the case of a newborn baby wrapped in plastic and abandoned on an Omaha doorstep earlier this week.
Police say 28-year-old Maria Piaz-Perez has been identified as the woman who left the 7-pound baby boy on Vicente Cruz’s front porch Monday. Police say investigators used witness accounts and security video to find Piaz-Perez and arrest her Wednesday. She has been charged with child abuse and abandonment.
Cruz said his wife saw a young woman get out of a car at his home’s front curb, run up to the porch with a package, then run off. An ambulance took the baby to a hospital. Doctors determined the baby is healthy.
