VALLEY CITY, N.D. (AP) \u2014 The remains of a newborn girl have been returned to a grave in Valley City a year after they were exhumed in a decades-old cold case. The remains were buried again Tuesday at Hillside Cemetery in a ceremony attended by Barnes County and Valley City officials. The body of the infant, later called Baby Rebecca, was found in the underbrush near the Valley City State University campus on April 15, 1981. Investigators revealed the newborn child died from asphyxia shortly after she was born. In July of 2019, Valley City police exhumed the remains and sent them to a lab in Texas for DNA testing to determine her parental origins. The search for her parents continues.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Sensory-GardenRibCut2020-300x149.jpg\")

FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2014 State officials won’t release information on any companies that have declined to cooperate with requests from health officials during the coronavirus pandemic, after information about one Fargo company was released in error. The Associated Press requested the information Wednesday after The Forum reported that GPK Products ignored recommendations by the state epidemiologist in May to shut down its plant after at least 10 employees tested positive for COVID-19. State Department of Health spokeswoman Nicole Peske says state law that prohibits disclosure of information contained in disease control records. She declined to provide the documents that had been released by mistake.<\/p>\n
