Police found the dead infant that morning. People are very surprised and very saddened by everything that has happened," said Stacey Schmeidel, a spokeswoman for Gettysburg College. Grossberg, who with Peterson attended Ramapo High School in Bergen County, NJ., was arrested and arraigned Monday night on first-degree murder charges after being released from Christiana Hospital in Newark.

Police interviewed her friends on campus, and eventually located Peterson at Gettysburg College. Gettysburg campus police interviewed Peterson, who Clough said admitted to putting the baby in the trash container. Peterson was released by Pennsylvania authorities because, at that point last week, charges had yet to be filed in Delaware. Brady said the state's seeking the death penalty is required by law in cases involving the intentional murder of a child under 14 years of age. "We've heard nothing to mitigate the forensic evidence we have," she said. Deputy Attorney General Peter N. Letang said that prosecutors consider the death intentional because the child was placed outside unprotected in subfreezing temperature.

Grossberg's attorney, Charles M. Oberly HI, said prosecutors had "rushed to judgment." , "When the facts are honestly and fully developed, the reaction will be far different," he told the New York Times. ; "There is a serious question whether this woman did anything criminal." Peterson's attorney, John R. Carroll of Philadelphia, did not respond to a request for an interview. As news about the case filtered out, ! friends and acquaintances were struggling to understand how and why the teenagers' troubles became so severe.

A neighbor of Peterson's called him "a fairly level-headed kid, one of the more sensible kids on the street. He must have been panic-stricken." Grossberg's dorm mates said the young woman did not discuss her pregnancy. 'There's been talk from the beginning of the year about whether she's pregnant or not," University of Delaware freshman Lauren Shlian told the Wilmington News Journal. "Every time we saw her, we said she must be pregnant. She couldn't really hide it."
