Stephanie Castillo, 36, was arrested for killing her twin newborns in November 2020 after DNA linked her to their deaths. The infants were discovered in an alley, one with head trauma and the umbilical cord around his neck, and the other bound in a plastic bag. Castillo faces first- and second-degree murder charges. She previously lived near where the babies were found and moved into a shelter. NYPD officers arranged a funeral for the twins, who were named Zeke and Zane by detectives.
"One newborn was partially covered in a pet training pad, with apparent head trauma and his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck, sources said at the time."
"Both were less than 24 hours old when they died."
"These were two newborn babies who were full term and then put in garbage bags and thrown in a rat infested backyard."
"Their little bodies had fractures. This has weighed heavy on every detective that has worked on the case."
