Phoenix police investigate after woman in coma for decade gives birth
Yahoo News ^ | January 6, 2019

Phoenix police on Saturday were investigating reports of a sexual assault after a woman who has been hospitalized in a vegetative state for the past decade gave birth.

The woman, who was incapacitated in a drowning incident, was a patient at Hacienda Healthcare when she went into labor on Dec. 29 and delivered a baby boy, according to local media. No one knew she was pregnant and healthcare staff were initially unsure why she was moaning, the reports said.

"This matter is currently under investigation by the Phoenix Police Department," Sergeant Tommy Thompson told Reuters when asked about the media reports.

I've heard many stories of healthcare staff stealing from patients.

But this is the first time I've heard of this.

I wonder how many times the comatose woman was assaulted.

It takes a real sicko to do something like that. Shades of Kill Bill.

Yep, but let's move on, we need to misreport about a young Black Girl being shot and killed by a WHITE MAN WITH BLUE EYES in a Red Pick-up (probably with a Trump sticker)...wait, this is untrue after the media obsessed on it for days??! O.K. we'll report the rape story, but only if it was a White person who raped her OR we can blame it on the government shutdown.

Obviously this woman does/did not have a husband like Terry Schaivo (sp?) in Florida or she would have been starved to death years ago.

Take samples from all current male employees, and search for any that have left employment within the last 9 months.................

sorry, I misunderstood, you mean DNA from the baby...yew that should work. I wonder if that would be enough to provide clues , I'm not an expert here.

Who ever did this is a giver, not a taker

You take the baby’s sample and compare it to the male emplyee’s samples.

If no current employee matches, then check past employees for the past year or so.

If still no match, then it must have been a relative or visitor unknown.................

Imagine conversation at the family dinner: "Well, your mother could wake up tomorrow and she wouldn't know either one of us. Pass the carrots."

How bout posting a pic of the infant (especially if mom is white and baby is of “mixed race”) that would give authorities a place to begin.

With the state of DNA testing technology, they should have the guilty party within a month or so and probably he will end up doing a plea bargain. If the rapist does end up in jail, he will likely have a living hell.

Every single employee who walked into her room needs to be charged as Accessory After The Fact.

There is no way the poor lady was bathed or changed or cleaned up as the months went by and NO ONE KNEW SHE WAS PREGNANT.

Jail all those evil people. I mean EVERYONE ONE OF THEM.

“....only if the perp’s dna is already on file some place.....” Actually they are solving cold cases because so many people have relatives who are in various DNA data bases.

As such, the perp’s DNA doesn't need to be in the database, just a cousin or two. The cousin's DNA will then suggest potential suspects and the police can then force them to give up a sample of their dna.
