Post-mortem conducted on body of "kidnapped" Polish baby girl

Warsaw - Polish officials conducted a post-mortem Monday on a 6-month-old baby girl whose mother had earlier claimed the child had been kidnapped.
The mother, Katarzyna Wasniewska, claimed she had been attacked on January 24 in Sosnowiec, southern Poland, and that the baby, Magda, had been kidnapped.
Those claims sparked a nationwide search for the little girl as its parents pleaded to the kidnapper for her return.
Wasniewska was arrested after she confessed that the baby had died after it fell, and that she had buried the body. The baby was found late Friday night covered in snow, rubble and leaves near a railroad track.
Prosecutors said Monday that initial post-mortem results did not disprove the mother's story.
Since then, hundreds of Poles had placed candles and flowers at the spot where the baby had been found.
