Overview
- Kingsland police arrested Alexia Moore on March 4 and charged her with murder, possession of oxycodone, and possession of a dangerous drug tied to misoprostol.
- Police say Moore told hospital staff on Dec. 30 that she had taken misoprostol and oxycodone before arriving with severe pain, and medical records estimated a 22 to 24 week pregnancy.
- The infant was delivered prematurely at the Southeast Georgia Health System hospital and survived for about an hour, with staff noting cardiac activity and respiratory distress.
- The Camden County coroner listed the cause and manner of death as undetermined after the Georgia Bureau of Investigation declined to perform an autopsy because the delivery occurred in a hospital.
- District Attorney Keith Higgins must decide whether to seek a grand jury indictment, as Moore’s defense has requested bond and a speedy trial with a hearing set for Monday.
