Long apologizes for actions during service
OCALA, Fla., June 1 (UPI) -- Florida authorities are looking for a woman in a gray pickup truck for questioning in the discovery of a newborn baby abandoned along a dirt road in Ocala.
The vehicle, which has a white topper, was seen Friday night in the area where a motorist found the child the next morning, WKMG-TV in Orlando reported Monday.
The unidentified baby girl is about a week old and is described as being in generally good condition, which indicates she had not been left alone for very long.
But at least one area resident says it was a matter of luck the child was unscathed because the neighborhood has its share of wildlife.
"There are snakes out here," Florastine Lee told WKMG-TV in Orlando. "A lot of dangerous animals come out at night that could have eaten up that child, and that child did not ask to come into the world."
Ocala police say the infant was discovered by a motorist who saw its little hand sticking out of a box from the QVC home shopping network.
