A toddler whose body was found in a duffel bag at a U.S.-Mexico border crossing earlier this week probably was drowned, a prosecutor said Friday. Hartley and Becerra were arrested Tuesday as they tried to cross the border from San Diego into Tijuana. He was turned over to U.S. Customs and Border Protection authorities, then to San Diego police homicide investigators. Mechals said Friday that the joint investigation by San Diego and Whitter law enforcement was in its early stages. She pleaded guilty in 1992 to a felony of selling or transporting a controlled substance, according to Orange County court records.
