Mom accused of killing 5-week-old baby, father allegedly underage
Prosecutors: Mom Killed Baby To Hide Father's Age
Investigators say the Hamilton mother charged with killing her 5-week-old son and putting the body in a garbage can murdered the child to cover up who fathered the baby.
A grand jury has indicted Asuncion Avila-Villa, 26, for unlawful sexual conduct with a minor. According to the indictment, the father is under the age of 16.
Villa is also charged with aggravated murder, tampering with evidence and gross abuse of a corpse.
Investigators say Villa killed her 35-day-old son named Israel Santos, then put his body inside a plastic bag in the trash behind her apartment on Shuler Avenue.
Authorities say they started looking for the baby after Villa called them on August 24 and tried to cover up what happened.
Villa told the 911 dispatcher: "I was just calling ‘cause ... one of my ex boyfriends came to pick up one of my sons ... He said he was going to take him. He hasn't come back yet."
Detectives worked the case all night before they found the baby in the garbage can on August 25.
The Butler County Coroner says the boy suffered from skull fractures as well as a broken arm.
Villa also has three other children.
She remains behind bars at the Butler County Jail on a $1 million bond. She is scheduled to appear in court later this week.

baby/children abusers should all rot in jail for the rest of their miserable lives. or have done to them what they did to the child. This is just so so sad that someone would do this to their child. If she didn't want anyone to know about the baby to the extent of killing him, then she should have just given him up for adoption at minute #1 of his life, instead of keeping him for 35 days and deciding that today is the day to do away with him. How horrible. She should also loose her other kids too. Even if she is not jailed for this, which she should be if she did it-FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE , she obviously doesn't sound FIT to be a mother to the other children!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is devastating. If she was so afraid, why not give the baby up for adoption? Why murder your own child?! If she is guilty, then I hope that her other children are taken into good homes and can get past the atrocity of what has happened. If she didn't do it, then I hope the whole family can get through this terrible ordeal.
Do you find this to be a waste of money?
