FBI Offers Reward for Information on Deceased Newborn at Electric Forest Music Festival
Autopsy findings say the infant was born alive and viable, and investigators are seeking tips to identify who is responsible.
- The FBI Detroit Field Office and Michigan State Police announced a reward of up to $15,000 for information leading to the identification and arrest of individuals involved in a newborn's death at the Electric Forest music festival.
- On Sunday, June 28, the newborn was discovered in a portable restroom at the Good Life camping area during the four-day festival. Autopsy results confirmed the infant was born "alive and viable."
- State police investigated a tip last week regarding a festival attendee from Muskegon who was cooperative with authorities. After completing investigative steps, the MSP confirmed she was eliminated as a suspect in the case.
- Authorities urge anyone with information to contact the Michigan State Police at 855-MICH-TIP. State troopers said, "We are confident that continued investigative efforts, combined with forensic science, will ultimately lead to the identification of the person responsible."
- Retired Michigan State Police detective Lew Langham said investigators are treating the case similarly to a missing person investigation, combing through festival surveillance video and photos to identify anyone with information about the child's birth.
