Vault podcast takes listeners behind the scenes on cold case arrest of Baby Angel’s mother

Jennifer Baechle, a 43-year-old well-known Winona resident, was arrested in April 2024 in connection with a 2011 cold case involving the death of a newborn baby called Baby Angel found in the Mississippi River.
The arrest followed a 2024 search warrant and a DNA match confirming Baechle as the biological mother, ending over a decade of her hiding in plain sight and surprising the community.
Baechle is charged with two counts of manslaughter and remains released on bail set at $200,000, with her upcoming court date planned for July 7, as local residents react to the arrest and show their support.
Following the discovery of Baby Angel, around 150 community members gathered for a memorial service for the unidentified infant, with contributions enabling the purchase of a gravestone and retired Sheriff Dave Brand overseeing the upkeep of the gravesite and regularly placing flowers.
The Vault podcast released a nearly 15-minute episode featuring insights from reporter John Molseed and Sheriff Brand, offering behind-the-scenes coverage of the arrest and its impact on the community.
