Mother to be arraigned in 1985 murder of newborn son found in Mansfield woods

Dianne Curry Peck, 59, was indicted Monday in connection with the 1985 murder of her newborn son found in the woods off Fruit Street in Mansfield. The Bristol District Attorney’s Office said Peck, of Attleborough, is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday in Fall River Superior Court. The case was reopened more than four decades after the child was discovered on January 26, 1985 by a father and son who were out hunting. No additional details about the infant’s death or the circumstances leading to the indictment were immediately available. Prosecutors said information expected to be disclosed in court, and the matter is described as developing.
