Alexander County Couple Charged In 30-Year-Old Missing Baby Case

NAGS HEAD, N.C. — Police have arrested two people in the death of a missing baby whose remains were found in a trash can rack on the North Carolina coast more than 30 years ago.

The Nags Head Police Department says in a news release that 54-year-old Scott Gordon Poole and his wife, Robin Lynn Bynum, were arrested on Thursday by the Alexander County Sheriff’s Office.

They’re both charged with concealing the birth of a child.

In April 1991, Nags Head police officers the remains of an infant who had been dead for some time.

A medical examiner determined the child died of blunt force trauma and asphyxiation.
