Police had previously been unable to track down anyone responsible for abandoning the twin boys, given the names Zeke and Zane.

Nearly five years after newborn twin boys were discovered beaten to death in the trash behind a Bronx building, their mother has been arrested after a dogged, years-long search, police said.

Stephanie Castillo, the mother of the infants, according to a law enforcement official, was charged with murder. The boys were found behind an apartment building in 2020.
