Green River Native Accused of Killing Her Baby

An Oklahoma woman originally from Green River remains the primary suspect in the death of her newborn baby, but she has not been jailed or charged because of a medical issue, Webster County officials said Wednesday.
Fort Dodge police identified Hillary Tyler, 31, of Mulhall, Okla., as the lone suspect in the death of the baby found in Room 225 of the Super 8 in Fort Dodge late Tuesday.
However, she was not formally charged or booked into the Webster County Jail after a medical issue developed, said Webster County Attorney Ricki Osborn.
The specific cause of the health issue was not released late Wednesday, but Osborn said the problem “was not mental,” and the problem is not believed to be life-threatening.
A news release issued by Fort Dodge police said Tyler would be charged with first-degree murder and was to make a 9 a.m. court appearance Wednesday. Neither event occurred, however, due to the medical problem. Tyler is not expected to be in court this morning, either.
Neither the specific cause of newborn’s death nor the baby’s gender was released Wednesday. Calls to the Iowa state medical examiner and the Webster County medical examiner were not returned.
