A post-mortem forensic examination found signs of traumatic injury and that the baby still had her umbilical cord attached, officials said.
Police issued warrants Monday for the girl and her father.
The sheriff’s office early last week said that the 14-year-old girl was wanted on suspicion of murder and that Galvez Perez faced warrants stating incest, lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14, lewd acts with a minor, unlawful sexual intercourse, child concealment and child endangerment.
But on Wednesday, Monterey County District Attorney Jeannine Pacioni sent out a statement clarifying the matter of criminal charges for the 14-year-old, explaining that her office had not received a filing request for such charges against the girl, nor had the office received any investigative reports from law enforcement.
“As a result, our office has not made any charging decision regarding the 14-year-old Jane Doe,” the district attorney’s office announced.
