The Mystery of David Paul

January 2, 1988 was a cold, bitter day and while many people were busy recuperating from celebrating the New Year, a horrible death had just occurred.

While walking along a wooden path in the southern part of Meriden, a woman thought she saw a little doll wrapped in pink and white blankets nestled against a tree in an empty company parking lot. As the woman approached closer she made the startingly discovery that it was a dead 7 1/2 pound blue eyed, blonde haired boy.

The newly born infant had died from the extreme cold in a few short hours. The boy was given the name, David Paul by a pastor at a local church. The name means beloved little man. It's been almost twenty years, since David Paul's lifeless body was found. It is suspected that he was abandoned by a female (most likely his mother) and police are looking to find her. There is a 20,000 dollar reward being offered in this case.

If you have any information about the death and abandonment of David Paul, please call the Meriden Police Department at 203-634-3784.

I'm Glad To Report: Wesleyan Shooting Suspect In Custody

MIDDLETOWN, Connecticut (CNN) -- The suspect in the shooting of a Wesleyan University student will be arraigned Friday morning after surrendering to police without incident Thursday evening in neighboring Meriden, authorities said.

Stephen Morgan has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of Johanna Justin-Jinich at a Middletown bookstore on Wednesday and is being held on a $10 million bond, Middletown Chief Lynn Baldoni said. Morgan turned himself in at the Meriden Police Department at 9:14 p.m., according to Baldoni, and was transferred to Middletown.

Police spoke briefly to Morgan immediately after the shooting, a law enforcement source told CNN on Thursday.

He was one of several people who gathered Wednesday afternoon outside Broad Street Books after the Wesleyan junior was shot to death in the bookstore's cafe, the source said. Morgan gave his name to investigators who spoke with him, the source said.

At that early stage of the investigation, the source said, police had no reason to suspect Morgan.

Earlier, Morgan's sister urged him to turn himself in to "avoid any further bloodshed."
