Overview
- Alexia Moore, 31, has been held in Camden County since March 4 on murder and drug-possession charges, with her attorney seeking bond and a speedy trial ahead of a Monday hearing.
- Police say Moore told medical staff she took misoprostol and oxycodone before arriving at a hospital on December 30, where a severely premature infant was delivered alive and later died.
- Kingsland Police cite hospital records, Moore’s and the infant’s bloodwork, and statements attributed to Moore as evidence; toxicology detected oxycodone in the infant but could not test for misoprostol.
- Camden County Coroner M. Wayne Peeples found the cause and manner of death undetermined, and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation declined to conduct an autopsy.
- A sworn hospital security officer notified law enforcement, while family and advocacy groups question the police narrative and point to the case’s potential implications under Georgia’s 2019 abortion law.
