Officials say a Minnesota woman has been charged in the death of her newborn who was abandoned at a lake nearly 20 years ago and that she is also the mother of another baby whose body was found in the Mississippi River years earlier. Fifty-year-old Jennifer Matter, of Red Wing, was charged with two counts of second-degree murder in the December 2003 death of a newborn boy whose body was found in Frontenac on the shore of Lake Pepin, a body of water on the Mississippi River. According to court documents, Matter is also the mother of another infant, a girl, found in the Mississippi River in 1999, although charges have not been filed in that case, which is still under review.
