Georgia Mom Sentenced for Murder After Leaving Newborn Daughter in Cooler on Side of Road
A judge in Georgia on Friday sentenced a woman to spend more than two decades behind bars after the woman admitted she was behind the 2019 murder of her newborn daughter. Caroline Riley Propes was sentenced to 23 years in prison for killing Eliza Jane Warner by placing the infant—only days old at the time—in a travel cooler which she zipped shut and abandoned by the side of the road, Atlanta NBC affiliate WXIA-TV reported. The ultimate sentence also includes seven years of probation following the defendant’s release from prison.
