Saying she was afraid of how her boyfriend would react, a woman admitted to throwing away her newborn,whose body was found in a garbage bag at a Nebraska landfill.

Lori Shultz,21, pleaded gulity in Union County court to second-degre manslaughter,in an agreement with prosecutors. She could receive up to 10 year sin prison at sentencing, set for Feb 28th.

Prosecutors first plan to have Schultz testify under oath before a grand jury to see if charges are warranted against Paul Alan Lundberg, her boyfriend at the time and the baby's father.

Schultz told Judge Steven Jensen that the air force discharged her for being pregnant,but she didn't tell her parents or friends why she was kicked out.

" I knew I would have the baby. I figured I would go to the hospital and figure out what to do. I was scared and embrassed." Schultz said tearfully.

The night before Feb. ,2004, she was in alot of pain, didnt sleep well and concluded she was in larbor, she said.

She then had the baby and cut the cord.

" I got scared and I out him on a bathroom rug and put towels around him. I saw he was a boy. I didnt know what Paul would do and I panicked so I wrapped him (the baby) in towels and put him in a garbage bags"

Schultz said she put the bundle in a trash can, she saw the baby move and wanted to bring him back inside but was afraid of Dundberg's response.

She said when Lundberg came in and asked where all the blood came from , she told him she was menstrating.

WHen he went to the store for her, she wheeled the garbage can to the end of the driveway. Schultz said.

Then she heard the baby whimper.

I wanted to bring him back inside but I didn't know what Paul would do she said.
