GPS Tracker Helps Find Mother of Abandoned Infant

A 30-year-old Oklahoma City woman had been missing for days so the police activated the GPS tracker in the woman’s 2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse.
The GPS tracking system was installed by the dealer. These devices are installed in vehicles to allow it to be located if payments are not made.
Using the tracking system, the car was spotted in a desolate city street north of St. Louis, Missouri. The police found the decomposing body of the woman, Ebony Jackson, in the trunk of the car Tuesday — four days after her three-month old baby boy was found abandoned in an apartment complex in Breckenridge Hills.
The police had to obtain court orders to activate the GPS tracker and open the trunk.
Jackson lived in Oklahoma but was visiting fiends in East St. Louis.
Results of the autopsy have not been released but police suspects that woman’s death involved foul play.
The infant’s father drove to St. Louis after hearing the news. The child will remain in custody of the city’s Division of Children and Family Services pending results of paternity tests.
