Anne Mae Demegillo, a 20-year-old Florida college student, has been arrested by the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) for allegedly stuffing her newborn in a duffel bag after giving birth in a toilet and performing in her school's play hours later. She allegedly believed the baby was already dead when she placed it in the bag and then attended a theater performance in New Smyrna Beach and buried it in a shallow backyard grave after returning home. Demegillo, a Daytona State College student, faces a first-degree manslaughter charge and could face up to 30 years behind bars. The FCSO has urged expectant mothers to consider Florida's Safe Haven Law, which allows parents to surrender an unharmed newborn to a fire station, hospital or law enforcement agency without legal consequences.
