Texas mother Avia Cantrell, 23, faces a capital murder charge after police alleged she left her newborn daughter face-down in a Fort Worth motel bathtub for about 30 minutes following the birth on 14 October.
Officers were called to the Drummers Inn four days later after an unhoused person discovered a baby girl's body outside the motel. Cantrell had been staying there with her boyfriend, Camron Baker, who is accused of disposing of the infant's remains in a dumpster.
