Info

On wednesday, february 19, 1992, teri lass claimed that her 6-day-old newborn son, shane, was kidnapped from her unlocked car outside the norwalk, iowa, post office while she went inside to buy stamps. The infant’s body — wrapped in two blankets and a sleeper with tiny footballs on it — was discovered the following afternoon inside a garbage bag found in a cardboard box dumped in a rural ditch just south of norwalk.The tiny infant — born only the previous thursday, the day before valentine’s day — had been killed by blows to the head and the skin cold to the touch.It wasn’t the first time one of mark and teri lass’s babies met an untimely death; less than four years earlier on march 1, 1988, their 10-day-old infant daughter, tamara lynn lass, died of what officials initially thought was sudden infant death syndrome (sids), but what state medical examiner thomas bennett ruled as an “undetermined” cause of death.
