Feb 04, 2010–Katie Stockton is the probable mother of two infants whose remains were found in the trunk of her impounded car, Winnebago County Coroner Sue Fiduccia said today.

Both infants, discovered Aug. 12 at an impound lot in South Beloit, are believed to be female and are not twins, the coroner said. It is unclear if the babies were born alive, and the cause of their deaths has not been identified.

“The DNA testing … is pointing that Katie Stockton is the mother,” Fiduccia said. “The investigation is continuing, and we are hoping that in this next phase of our forensic testing that we will be able to determine a cause of death.”

February 1, 2010–Steven Hayes, who apparently tried to kill himself Sunday with a drug overdose, was taken to the hospital after prison guards found him unconscious.

Jury selection in Hayes’ trial at Superior Court in New Haven on charges that he killed a mother and two daughters during a home invasion in Cheshire in 2007 will be suspended today, and the delay is likely to last far longer.

Hayes was taken to the UConn Health Center in Farmington from the MacDougall-Walker Correctional Institution in Suffield. Hospital officials declined to release any details of his condition.
