The disturbing case of Emile Weaver, a young mother who murdered her newborn after giving birth in the bathroom of her sorority house, continues to shock the public as new details resurface online. Weaver, then 21 and a sorority member at Muskingum University in Ohio, hid her pregnancy before giving birth to her baby alone in April 2015.
Moments after the birth, he placed the newborn girl, later named Addison, in a garbage bag along with food wrappers and discarded items, suffocating her. Weaver then casually left the house and drove to McDonald’s, leaving the scene to be discovered by horrified students.
The tragic series of events was compounded by Weaver’s callous text messages to the baby’s father. Hours before police arrived, Weaver texted: “No more baby…watch out.” She continued with, “It was a girl with your dark hair.” The father’s chilling response: “I would like to know how you killed my son.”
Postmortem reports confirmed that Addison died of asphyxiation. Investigators revealed that Weaver had shown little concern about her pregnancy and continued to party, smoke and even play sports. in it police interviewWeaver admitted, “I didn’t really care that much about the baby. “I was more concerned about my well-being and taking care of myself.”
During the trial, Weaver pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, but the court rejected the claim. She was convicted in 2016 of aggravated murder, abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence, and received life in prison without parole. “I did not identify him as a human being,” he said in court. “It was more of an ‘it’.”

Weaver’s sentence generated debate. In 2022, advocates argued that the punishment was disproportionately harsh compared to similar cases. In November 2023, her sentence was modified to allow her parole after 20 years, which would make her eligible for release in 2035.
One person commented on the creepy aspect of the show, saying: “Emile texting his boyfriend ‘It was a girl with your hair’ after doing what he did was probably the most twisted part for me.”
The case recently gained renewed attention after it appeared in the EWU Crime Storytime YouTube Channel, with more than 1.1 million visits. Outraged viewers commented on Weaver’s lack of remorse and the meaninglessness of the tragedy. “I could have left the baby at the hospital,” one user wrote. Another added: “She seems like a sociopath. “Anyone who can lie so easily should be in prison for a long time.”
The disturbing details of Addison’s death and Weaver’s actions left a lasting impact on Muskingum University. As one former student shared: “All incoming freshmen were taught what to do in situations like this. “The University wanted to make sure this never happened again.”
Weaver’s story remains a chilling reminder of a crime that shocked a community and continues to spark debate about justice, mental health and accountability.
