Yaquina Bay Bridge

Jillian McCabe had been researching ways to kill her 6-year-old autistic son - and get away with it - before she carried him onto Oregon's Yaquina Bay Bridge, told him she was "sorry" and threw him over the edge, prosecutors say.

The woman who said she threw her 6-year-old son off a historic bridge in the coastal Oregon city of Newport has been arrested on murder and manslaughter charges.

Police in Newport, Oregon, say a boy's body has been found after a woman earlier reported throwing her 6-year-old son off the Yaquina (Ya-KWHY-na) Bay Bridge on the coast.
