Baby's Body Found in Connecticut River

State police reported finding the body of a baby in the Connecticut River, in the area of East Haddam’s Salmon River boat launch.

The identity of the infant has not been released, pending DNA tests that will take place on Wednesday, July 8, according to the Hartford Courant.

Aaden Moreno’s father, Tony Moreno, reportedly called family on the phone on Sunday and talked about jumping off the Arrigoni Bridge in Middletown. The person Moreno spoke to told police they heard Aaden in the background.

When police arrived, they reported seeing Moreno jump from the bridge, but did not see Aaden. A search for the baby was conducted and is now being classified as a recovery.
