The Kearns woman calling a 911 dispatcher was frantic and horrified as she reported having found a newborn baby stuffed into a trash can, buried under two bags of garbage.

On the verge of tears, the Aug. 26 caller recounted that she and her neighbor thought they has heard a cat crying in the bin. When they investigated, they discovered the newborn girl, umbilical cord still attached, had been left there to die.

"There's a baby in our garbage can!" the woman cried in the 911 audio, released Tuesday by the Unified Police Department.

"I don't know how to get it out! Neither one of us are tall enough and if I tip it the trash is going to tip over on top [of her]," she explained.

Moments later, another neighbor came to her aid.

"We've got the neighbor over and we're going to get [the baby] out of the garbage can," the caller told the dispatcher.

Soon thereafter, UPD officers and firefighter paramedics arrived, rescued the two-day-old infant and rushed it to the hospital.

A short time later, police arrested Alicia Englert, 23, after she allegedly admitted to putting the newborn in the trash to hide the birth from her family.

The baby girl survived and is now four months old. She remains in the custody of the Utah Division of Child and Family Services.

Salt Lake County prosecutors have charged Englert with one count of first-degree felony attempted murder in Salt Lake City's 3rd District Court. If convicted of the crime, she could spend the rest of her life in prison.
