Stacy Michelle Costner Rabon, 48, of Rock Hill, South Carolina, faces a charge of homicide by child abuse in connection with the girl's death in August 1992, news outlets reported. Detectives reexamined the case last October and submitted DNA from the sheet to the York County Forensic Biology Lab for testing. Rabon was arrested Tuesday and was being held at the York County Detention Center. A DNA match between the baby and Rabon was made after Rabon was arrested on a drug distribution charge in 2019, Tolson said. Rabon's DNA was sent to a national DNA database where it matched with evidence in the baby's case from 1992, Tolson said.
