Electric Forest newborn death – reward offered

Overview

During the four‑day Electric Forest music festival in Rothbury, Michigan, a newborn infant estimated to be less than a month old was discovered inside a portable toilet on the final day. A restroom‑service employee found the body and a preliminary autopsy confirmed the infant was born alive. Michigan State Police opened an investigation, have completed an autopsy and, while forensic results are still under review, have not classified the death as a homicide. Festival organizers expressed deep sorrow and pledged full cooperation.

The FBI’s Detroit field office, working with state police, announced a $15,000 reward for information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the responsible party. Investigators have spoken with a Muskegon woman who attended the festival; she has been ruled out as a suspect but may have relevant information. Police continue to urge anyone with tips to contact authorities. The case remains under investigation.
