A 9-month-old baby girl was found dead in a trash bin behind a Pueblo Safeway on Friday evening. Her name has not been released. The baby was in the legal custody of Pueblo County Department of Social Services and in the physical care of her grandmother.
Kevin Beuhler, 22, was arrested and jailed on suspicion of first-degree murder by a person in a position of trust. Beuhler is a cousin of the dead girl, who had been reported missing Friday morning. The girl's parents, Selena Olson and Ted Perez, are not suspects.
An autopsy is pending to determine the girl's cause of death.
