The Lancaster baby was found by police after a pedestrian reported a strong smell coming from the trash bin in the 500 block of North Market Street, according to the Intelligencer Journal.
Police were uncertain about the infant's sex and race, and hope to find out more from an autopsy today, the newspaper reports.
Investigators are also looking for the mother, who, evidence suggests, had injuries while giving birth.
