But Trotwood Capt. Dan Heath said Wednesday police will continue to investigate and wait to decide on charges until “we have the coroner’s report,” which is expected in about eight weeks, according to the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office.
Police responded to the first block of South Broadway Avenue about 5:30 p.m. Feb. 4 on a report of a homicide, records show. That was after Kimberly Spagnola called 911 because she found a dead infant in a trash can outside her home.

Spagnola told police “I think the baby belonged to my” relative.
“I went to work this morning and there was blood all over the bathroom. ... When I got home, she wasn’t home.”
Police records indicate a “newborn child (was) found discarded in a residential trash can.”
Among the items removed by police stained jeans and blood stained ladies underwear, records show.
Spagnola said she found the dead baby in the trash can after getting a call from another relative – Shelly Wilson - who said she discovered the infant earlier.

“I was shocked. Totally shocked,” Wilson said. “I was shocked even more because the person the baby belonged to lived in the house with us.”
Wilson said she questioned her another relative about infant, and she said it was her’s.

“She was sorry,” Wilson said. “And there’s no way she knew she was pregnant.”
Wilson said her relative lived with them at the time, but has since moved out.
