Peck appeared in court and pleaded not guilty to the murder charge. Authorities revealed that DNA from a soda bottle found in her trash linked her to the child, after investigators used forensic genetic genealogy to reopen the cold case. The infant's body was discovered in 1985 by a hunting father and son, and an autopsy confirmed the child was born alive before dying shortly afterward.
