Jessie Canfield was at a birthday party when she started to have cramps. So she went to rest in a bedroom -- or at least that's what family and friends thought. She didn't tell anyone that she'd given birth to a baby girl in the bedroom...

Then she just dumped her in a garbage can and went back to the party. Police don't know if the girl was dead or alive when discarded. The baby was found until garbage men came calling at the Redondo Beach, California home where the party was held.

The woman claims she didn't know she was having a baby, though police also say she was distraught, so there may be mental issues here.

Canfield was arrested in Santa Barbara, where she stays with relatives. She was taken to a hospital for an examination before being booked for murder.

Tragically, the home where she gave birth is just a few blocks from a fire station, where women can drop off newborns no questions asked if they don't want their babies.
