Infant homicide investigations broaden

Overview

Mid‑July 2026 saw U.S. courts hand down harsh sentences in two infant‑related murders: Isaac Argro in New York received a 25‑to‑life term after killing his ex‑girlfriend while she held their three‑month‑old baby, and Gabriel Girner in Mississippi was sentenced to life without parole for the murder of his three‑month‑old daughter.

In early August, Paraguayan authorities opened a case after a newborn in Santaní was found suffocated with a metal wire; the 18‑year‑old mother faces up to 25 years if aggravating factors are proven. Bolivia launched an infanticide inquiry after a newborn was discovered dead near the San Cristóbal River in Sorata. In Spain, a newborn discovered dead in a home in Sada prompted a Guardia Civil investigation. The 25‑year‑old mother, who denied being pregnant, was taken to A Coruña University Hospital with severe internal hemorrhage; an emergency assessment revealed only placental tissue. Police later found the infant wrapped in blankets inside a wardrobe. The Judicial Police of Cambre now lead the inquiry, which is before the Betanzos Court of First Instance, with an autopsy pending to determine whether the baby was born dead or died shortly after birth.
