Lefleur has been charged with concealing the death of a child.

She was arraigned Wednesday night by District Judge Joshua R. Keller and committed to Lancaster County Prison in lieu of $1 million bail, reports LancasterOnline.

A custodian found the fetus around 10 p.m. Tuesday. 

On Wednesday, detectives conducted interviews and reviewed video footage, identifying Lefleur as the mother.

An infant bo at 27 to 29 weeks is very premature but with the correct medical care and supervision could survive.
