KAMAS — An 18-year-old Wasatch County woman has been arrested and accused of killing her 1-month-old son and disposing his body in Parleys Canyon.
"Estrella was overwhelmed with caring for a premature baby that needed extra care to survive and wished to go back to a single, nonmother, lifestyle and begin a new life with . She also took care not only to dispose of D.O.'s body, but also attempted to erase any and all traces of his birth, life and death," the affidavit states.
On Sept. 1, the infant was taken to the hospital after he stopped breathing. Ojeda arrived at the hospital without her son's oxygen and "was again told that it was vital for survival." Detectives now believe "that this was an attempt to end D.O.'s life and that Estrella was either interrupted or could not go through with it at this time," the affidavit alleges.
Police say Ojeda searched for these topics eight days before her son died, "showing that Estrella was actively planning to cause his death and dispose of his body." "I asked repeatedly for information for anyone who could corroborate her story and she stated that only her mother and her sister , although their phone numbers were not working. She told me that D.O. is doing great and is being treated by a pediatrician in Mexico City," detectives wrote in the affidavit.
