COLUMBIA, Ill. -- Authorities investigating a woman accused of trying to drown her baby in a toilet last November have found the remains of another infant at her Belleville home.

Twenty-three-year-old Elyse Mamino is charged with attempted first-degree murder in relation to the child she's accused of trying to drown. That child, a girl, is now in state custody.

Belleville Police Captain Don Sax says authorities were searching her home when they found the remains of the other infant. Those remains date back to more than a year and no charges have been filed in that case.

It was not clear whether Mamino had an attorney.

Columbia police Chief Joe says Mamino is a teacher's aide in Belleville who works with autistic children.
