Pennsylvania: Amanda Hein kills baby after giving birth in pub bathroom, returns to watch pay-per-view wrestling

A Pennsylvania woman is being held without bond after she allegedly gave birth to a baby boy in a bar bathroom, killed him and left his body in a toilet tank.

According to prosecutors, 26-year-old Amanda Catherine Hein went with three men to Starters Pub in Lower Saucon Township on August 18 to watch a pay-per-view wrestling event.

The following morning, a cleaning crew at the pub allegedly discovered the dead body of a newborn baby wrapped in a plastic bag in a toilet tank in the ladies’ bathroom.

Hein admitted giving birth to the baby boy in the restroom a night earlier, wrapping him in a plastic bag from a garbage container and placing him in the toilet tank, court documents said.

District Attorney John Morganelli told a US court hearing: “Even having been a prosecutor for 20 years, it is very upsetting. I’ve seen dead people… shot, strangled. But when you’re dealing with a baby, it’s very difficult.”

Hein has been charged with criminal homicide and could face the death penalty if convicted.

One witness said he saw that she was bleeding and asked if she needed to go to the hospital, but she told him she didn’t have insurance and he dropped her off at her house.
