Deputies released the identity of the mother arrested nearly four years after a newborn was found abandoned in the woods in Forsyth County.
Channel 2′s Tom Regan attended a news conference at the sheriff’s office Friday where Sheriff Ron Freeman identified the mother as 40-year-old Karima Jiwani.
Jiwani faces multiple charges, including attempt to commit murder, cruelty to children in the first degree, reckless abandonment and other charges.
“This investigation has taken thousands of hours and we never stopped in those four years. I stood in this room and told you we would bring them to justice. Little did I know it would take four years,” Freeman said.
The sheriff also revealed that Jiwani had a history of concealed pregnancies; however, he said investigations haven’t found additional criminal acts like this.
Authorities say they were able to use DNA evidence to identify the baby’s father 10 months ago.
They say Jiwani gave birth in her car and drove around for a significant amount of time before abandoning the baby.
