An anonymous tip to police in Titusville, Fla., led to the discovery of a dead baby found wrapped in plastic, hidden inside an apartment's bathroom closet, according to a police report.

Police received information that there was possibly a dead baby in the garbage outside of an apartment located at 3156 Finsterwald Drive.

When officers investigated, they did not find a baby in the garbage.

However, during questioning of residents, investigators learned that Jaclyn Nicole Helsel, 21, gave birth inside of her apartment Tuesday. The child was apparently alive at birth but died within 10 minutes, according to the report.

Officers said Helsel then apparently wrapped the child in a towel and placed the body under a bathroom sink.

The report said Helsel and her boyfriend, Christopher Wood, then wrapped the baby in plastic and placed the child in a trash can outside of their apartment complex.

Thursday, Helsel and Wood then removed the child from the trash and carried the baby back to their apartment, the police report said.

The baby was found by officers in the closet later Thursday.

It was also discovered during questioning that Helsel had wanted an abortion but Wood did not because the child was a boy, the report said.

Helsel was charged with aggravated manslaughter and was booked into the Brevard County Jail. Wood has not been charged in the case.

An autopsy will be preformed by the Brevard County medical examiner to determine the exact cause of death.
