Tara Brazzle (L) in a 2021 Lancaster County mugshot and (R) in 2023. An Indiana mother and former Lancaster County, Pa., resident who gave birth in secret to 'Baby Mary Anne' back in 2007 and threw the newborn away in a dumpster behind the YMCA where she worked will spend anywhere from half a decade to two decades behind bars in the Keystone State. Tara E. Brazzle, now 46, entered an Alford plea to third-degree murder, meaning she accepts there was enough evidence to convict without technically admitting to the crime.
