Police: Murder Suspect Gave Birth in Toilet, Sealed Baby in Plastic Bag

A Wyandotte woman has been charged with felony murder, premeditated murder and child abuse after she allegedly gave birth in a restroom stall at her job last month, and then hid the baby in a sealed plastic bag near her desk.

Police said the baby, a boy, was alive when Kimberly Pappas, 25, allegedly gave birth to him March 31 in a restroom at Ceva Logistics in Redford, where she had a temporary job. An autopsy showed the baby died of suffocation.

Pappas was arraigned at noon Friday in 17th Judicial District Court. A Redford detective testified that she gave birth in the toilet, sealed the baby in a plastic bag and then hid it in a tote bag.

Employees at the Redford company noticed blood in the restroom the morning of the baby’s birth. Paramedics tried to resuscitate the full-term baby, but were unsuccessful.

The Free Press said Pappas was still employed by the temp agency that referred her to Ceva Logistics, but had not been to work since the March 31 incident.
