Newborn baby found abandoned in a cardboard box with a note on a frigid Alaska street corner

A newborn baby was reported in stable and healthy condition Monday after being found days earlier abandoned in a cardboard box in frigid temperatures near a rural intersection around Fairbanks, according to authorities in Alaska. Anchorage station KTUU-TV reported it was approximately 1 degree when the child was located and the wind chill factor in the area at that time was reported around 12 below zero.

Alaska State Troopers said in a statement that they were notified around 2 p.m. Friday that a baby had been found abandoned. The baby appeared to have been left at the location recently, troopers said.

Kelly Atlee, a spokesperson with Foundation Health Partners in Fairbanks, said by email Monday that the baby is "stable and healthy." Atlee said she could not provide additional information. The Fairbanks Memorial Hospital is among the facilities that are part of the health organization.
