Brennan Hailey Geller, 21, is charged with homicide by child abuse.

Geller failed to provide medical care for the baby girl she delivered in her car August 3, according to an arrest warrant.

Geller placed the newborn in a trash bag and drove home with the baby in the floorboard, the warrant said.

Baby Girl Geller’s cause of death is still pending. An August 6 preliminary autopsy confirms the manner of death as homicide, according to Lexington County Coroner Margaret Fisher.

“We became aware of this tragic case after Geller was treated at the hospital Saturday morning for blood loss,” Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon

said. “The medical

team caring for Geller told investigators she never told them the baby was in her car.”

Koon said the infant’s body was located in the vehicle several hours later.

Geller was arrested Monday afternoon. She’s being held in the Lexington County Detention Center while she awaits a bond hearing.
