Then, authorities say, he put the
newborn inside a gray plastic bag and
set it in a trash container in the motel's
parking lot.
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.
Magistrate Judge Rosalie Rutkowski
had her held without bail and ordered
a psychiatric evaluation.
The reason she was hospitalized
was unclear, but was believed to be
associated with the delivery, Newark
police Lt. Roy Clough said.

Peterson Jso faces a first-degree
murder charg. Delaware Attorney
General M. Jai? Brady said Monday
that authorities were uncertain of
Peterson's wherabouts, adding that
he was neither t his mother and
stepfather's home i. Wyckoff, N.J., nor
at his father's houstin Dix Hills, Long
Island, N.Y.
Brady said Petersci's attorneys had
contacted her office ancsaid they would
like to arrange their cient's possible
surrender.
"It would be more ecpedient if he
comes to Delaware andturns himself
in than for us to try to extradite him,"
Brady said.
Clough said that after he baby was
delivered, Peterson returned to
Gettysburg, and Grossbergwent back
to her campus dormitory ii Newark.
She became ill, he said, and vas taken
by an ambulance to ChristianaHospital.

initially denied to the doctors treating
her that she had given birth. 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.

Medical reports indicate the infant
died of a fractured skull, but investigators
said they had not determined if the
child suffered the fatal injury before or
after being put into the trash container.
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.
"Brian Peterson had not, as far as
we know, indicated to anybody that
there was anything on his mind,"
Schmeidel, of Gettysburg, said.

"There was no hint that he was
struggling academically or socially."
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."
In Grossberg's hometown of Franklin
Lakes, N.J., a neighbor called the.
incident a "sad, horrible tragedy I think
for everyone concerned. You don't expect
it here, but I guess it's something that
has no boundaries."
