ROSEVILLE, Mich. – DNA evidence has confirmed that a baby boy found frozen at a Roseville recycling center is not the missing infant of an Okemos woman.
Now, police are working to identify the baby's real mother while the Okemos woman's own baby remains missing. Roseville police are working to find out who left the newborn at the recycling center while Meridian Township police are searching for the missing baby.

Police were suspecting the newborn found in Roseville was Melissa Mitin's. The 25-year-old woman already is charged with throwing her newborn daughter into a trash can, where she was asphyxiated in December 2013.
Mitin had been out on bond throughout 2014 and became pregnant again. Police believe she gave birth around Dec. 23, 2014. Her baby boy has vanished, and Mitin told a judge she "couldn't recall" where he was.
Mitin, who is not married, lives with her parents in Okemos, an upscale suburb of Lansing. Investigators believe the father of the first baby was a Michigan State University student who now lives out of the country.
Workers in Roseville found the body of a baby boy, between 1 and 3 days old, on Thursday.
"It just makes you sick," said Roseville Police Chief James Berlin.
Police in the Lansing area, as well as metro Detroit, were trying to put together a timeline. However, Friday's DNA testing results have change the investigation.
