A man whose infant son was found dead in the Connecticut River admitted tossing the boy from a bridge before jumping into the water below, police said. Tony Moreno was charged with murder in the death of 7-month-old Aaden Moreno.
Moreno exchanged angry text messages with the infant's increasingly frantic mother in the minutes before he jumped Sunday near midnight, according to court filings. "Enjoy your new life without us," Moreno wrote before texting, "He's dead."
Moreno, 21, was arraigned at Hartford Hospital, where he was treated after firefighters rescued him. His bail was set at $2 million. Moreno's public defender did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
