A baby girl was also found dead on Nov. 4, 1999, in the Lower Boat Harbor of the Mississippi River near Red Wing. Investigators determined through DNA the baby girl was also Matter’s child. No charges have been filed in connection to that incident at this time, with officials noting charges could be amended or added later.
The complaint said on Dec. 7, 2003, at about 12:52 p.m., authorities responded to a report of a dead, unclothed infant boy on Methodist Beach along the Mississippi River, A group of four teenage girls found the baby while they were driving through the parking lot of the beach area. Authorities since 1999 followed up on "countless investigative leads" related to the deaths of both infants, the complaint states. Investigators compared DNA and concluded the 1999 and 2003 infants were related. And in September 2020, an investigator found two persons of interest who could possibly be related to the 1999 infant. Then in June 2021, the Minnesota BCA compared DNA samples and identified the biological father of the 1999 girl.
