The dead baby girl was found in a trash bin in a women’s bathroom at main airport in Phoenix on Oct. 10, 2005.
Wrapped in newspapers and a towel, the newborn had been stuffed into a plastic bag from a Marriott Hotel, the police said.
Detectives immediately began investigating the death of the child, who came to be known as Baby Skylar.
A medical examiner determined two days after the baby was found that she had been suffocated and was the victim of a homicide.
Ms. Anderson was in custody in Washington on Tuesday, and was awaiting extradition to Maricopa County, Ariz., Lt. James Hester of the Phoenix Police Department said at the news conference.
