No Answers After Deming Woman Apparently Gave Birth, No Baby Found

Police say they are continuing to investigate the case of a Deming woman who showed up at an emergency room after giving birth but without a newborn baby.

The Deming Headlight reports that the 38-year-old woman was taken by ambulance from her home to the ER at Mimbres Memorial Hospital on June 14.

Authorities say she has since been transported to another medical center, but did not say where.

Although she denied that she was ever pregnant, police say a medical exam made it evident that the woman had recently given birth.

Deming Police Chief Brandon Gigante says police don't know if they are dealing with a fetus, miscarriage or stillborn birth.

No charges have been filed and police are still investigating the situation.
