A living newborn was found under trash bags in a garbage can in Kearns, Utah, on the morning of August 26, 2014, and later recovered fully and was adopted by another family.

A woman called 911 after going outside about 6 a.m. because she thought she heard a cat in distress. She could not find it in the dark, then returned with her mother-in-law and found the infant underneath the trash bags.

"I thought it was a cat," she told the dispatcher. "I was outside just a minute ago and I got my mother-in-law to come out, and we lifted the trash bags off, and there's a baby in the garbage can. I don't know how to get him out, neither one of us are tall enough."

The caller said the infant looked newborn, was breathing and crying, and still had eight to ten inches of umbilical cord attached. Neither woman was tall enough to reach into the can. About four minutes into the call a neighbor came over and lifted the infant out, and they wrapped the baby in a blanket. Paramedics reached the house roughly six minutes into the call. The neighbor who helped was the father of the woman later charged, and he said he had not known his daughter was pregnant or had given birth.

Alicia Marie Englert, 23, was charged with attempted murder, a first-degree felony, in Utah's 3rd District Court. Police and prosecutors said Englert had given birth two days earlier in a bathroom of the house where she lived in the basement, and that she put the infant in the neighbor's garbage can on her way to work. The child was a girl, though the caller assumed the baby was a boy.

In February 2015 Englert was found incompetent to stand trial. Court filings cited a documented IQ of 51 and a diagnosis of acute postpartum depression. Her parents said she has special needs and does not process things correctly. Two years after the case was filed it had not moved past that point.

The recording is the neighbor's 911 call, running about four and a half minutes. It starts as she is standing at the can with the baby still inside and ends after the paramedics arrive.
