24 March 2022 News
A plea agreement is being negotiated for the 45-year-old woman who gave birth to Dodge County’s “Baby Theresa.” The infant was found dead in a garbage bag in a wooded area of the Town of Theresa in April of 2009. Last Friday Dodge County authorities announced that the baby’s mother was identified as Karin Luttinen who faces a charge of concealing the death of a child. The same day a plea agreement was filed. In exchange for a guilty or no contest plea Luttinen’s attorney could recommend any sentence. Prosecutors would only be able to argue that time in jail is appropriate. According to the criminal complaint Luttinen gave birth to the baby in a bathtub. Afterwards she got in her vehicle and drove “aimlessly” eventually placing the infant’s body in some woods. An autopsy found the infant died prior to or during birth. If convicted Luttinen could get up to a year and a half in prison.
