Newborn vanished after secret birth, parents allegedly claimed baby 'was a prank': cops

A Florida couple, Leon Alejandro Jr. and Samantha Feliz, have been arrested in North Carolina after a year-long investigation into the disappearance of their newborn. The couple, from Hollywood, Florida, allegedly concealed the birth and later claimed the child never existed, describing it as a prank. Authorities say the infant was last seen on January 5, 2025, appearing visibly ill and malnourished. Investigators found no remains despite searches with cadaver dogs. The couple is facing multiple felony charges and is being held without bond pending extradition to Florida. Evidence included baby clothing, a positive pregnancy test, and blood-stained towels, which were confirmed to belong to the couple's biological child.

Bias read (Conservative): The article frames the incident through a law enforcement lens, emphasizing the criminal charges and the alleged deception by the couple. While the story itself is about a crime, the tone leans toward portraying the defendants as deceptive and irresponsible, aligning with conservative values of law,
