More Charges Issued In Abandoned Baby In Homeless Tent Case

MANCHESTER, NH — An arrest warrant has been issued against the boyfriend of a woman accused of abandoning her newborn inside a homeless camp tent on Christmas 2022 in Manchester.

George Theberge, 45, a homeless man now located in Manchester, is wanted on felony tampering with witnesses, reckless conduct, and endangering the welfare of a child charges. He was accused of being with Alexandra Davis Eckersley when she gave birth in the tent on the Queen City’s West Side, Heather Hamel, the public information officer for the Manchester Police Department, said.

“At the time of the birth, the temperatures were approximately 15 degrees, and the baby was left alone in the tent for more than an hour before police found the child,” Hamel said.

Eckersley faces several charges and was released on cash bail earlier this month.

“Allie,” as she was known in Concord’s homeless community, had been camping in the capital region from 2018 until a few months ago. She is the adoptive daughter of Dennis Eckersley, the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame pitcher and broadcaster, and his second wife, Nancy. She had been arrested repeatedly in Concord since February 2018, not long after moving out of her parent’s home in Massachusetts.

She was arrested on Dec. 26, 2022, on a Concord District Court warrant for endangering the welfare of a child. Later, she was charged with second-degree assault-extreme indifference and falsifying physical evidence charges, both felonies, as well as misdemeanor counts of reckless conduct and endangering the welfare of a child. She has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Dennis Eckersley, according to reports, has filed a guardianship petition for his grandson.

According to superior court records, Theberge has been convicted on felon in possession of a dangerous weapon, domestic violence-stalking, domestic violence-stalking-subsequent, violation of probation or parole, and other charges. He was arrested in a Manchester drug raid in 2017, according to a post on Patch. In June 2015, he was accused of failure to appear on a meth possession charge, simple assault, and criminal trespass charges. Theberge was arrested again in July 2016 on the charges. While living in Greenville in November 2019, he was arrested again on a violation of parole or probation on a meth possession charge.

Theberge has an active drug and resisting case working its way through court.
