The mother of a missing newborn found dead earlier this week has been charged with murder.

Yolo County sheriff’s deputies discovered 20-day-old Justice Rees near wetlands along the Sacramento River in Knights Landing, California on Wednesday after a night of searching following a call from the boy's mother Samantha Green, who reported him missing and claimed the two had been abducted.

Now, Green, who was found in wetlands nearby bruised and crying, has been charged with murder and was picked up Saturday at around noon by authorities.

The charges against Green were announced by Yolo County Sheriff Ed Prieto at a news conference, according to the Los Angeles Times.

He did not give any information as to why they decided to charge Green, but did say that authorities were not able to substantiate claims that she had been abused.

'At this point here, we don’t have anyone else that was involved,' said Prieto.

'No stone was left unturned.'

News 10 reported that Ricardo Villaseñor came upon Green shortly after that call, wet and shouting for help near the Ridge Cut slough.

Villaseñor said although Green seemed disoriented, she explained to him she and the baby had been abducted in town, but that she had no idea how she'd wound up next to the river.

'She was badly bruised,' said Villaseñor. 'She had no shoes. She was kind of left for dead, it seemed like.'

She told him she knew her baby was dead, having frozen to death, and though she said she didn't know the exact location of Justice, she said he was somewhere in the slough.

Police arrived around 5:30pm and found her 2011 Chevy Tanverse on the other side of the slough, separated from where the mother was by trees and brush.

Sheriff's deputies launched a search that lasted through the night and into the morning, combing water and vegetation before finally finding Justice's remains shortly before 10am Wednesday.
