Mom gets life for stabbing newborn and throwing the baby in a river in 1992. DNA cracked the case
A 50-year-old woman was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison for killing her newborn daughter, whose stabbed body was found in a plastic bag in a South Carolina river in 1992. A York County jury convicted Stacy Michelle Rabon of homicide by child abuse earlier this month. Rabon will be eligible for parole starting in 2031 because she was sentenced under the law in 1992 which allowed for shorter sentences for serious convictions.
