(CNN) A Massachusetts woman has been arrested in connection with the 1985 death of a newborn baby in Frenchville, Maine. A dog found the abandoned newborn in a gravel pit on December 7, 1985, and carried her less than 700 feet to its owner's home, according to a news release from Maine State Police (MSP). Detectives were later able to track the dog's path to the location where their investigation showed the baby was born and left abandoned in below-zero temperatures, according to the release. But on Monday, police arrested 58-year-old Lee Ann Daigle, formerly Lee Ann Guerette, of Lowell, Massachusetts, at her home and charged her with murder. Authorities were able to identify her due to advancements in technology, such as DNA and genetic genealogy, the release said.
