HIGBEE, Mo. -- A Missouri woman has been arrested following the discovery of an infant's body inside a duffel bag floating in a small pond.

Sheriff Mark Nichols said the investigation led Monday to the arrest of a 25-year-old woman from Moberly, Mo., about nine miles from where the baby's body was found.
