Newborn baby found abandoned near Texas walking trail

A man abandoned a newborn girl near a Texas walking path on a hot Saturday morning, officials said. 

The baby was "freshly born this morning," police said during a press conference. She was found in Katy, about 30 miles west of Houston, around 9 a.m. by a pair out for a walk with their child and dogs. The newborn was wrapped in a towel.

The couple who spotted the baby were out early to try and avoid the heat, Daniela Fedele told CBS News affiliate KHOU. Their 3-year-old daughter was riding her bike toward the newborn when they noticed the towel-wrapped infant.
