An abounded newborn was found after someone reported hearing "a baby crying outside" early Saturday morning in Mulberry, according to the Polk County Sheriff's Office.

The baby girl was found around 1:47 a.m. wrapped in a blanket, on a small hill near the Regal Loop Mobile Home Park, just off Bailey Road. She was still attached to the placenta, the sheriff's office explained.

Authorities estimate the newborn was born approximately one hour before she was found, based on the infant's body temperature.
