Former Red Sox player Dennis Eckersley and his family released a statement Thursday regarding their daughter, who is accused of misleading police about where she gave birth to a baby boy early Monday morning in the woods of Manchester, New Hampshire.
Alexandra Eckersley, 26, is the adopted daughter of MLB Hall of Famer and Red Sox broadcaster Dennis Eckersley and his second wife, Nancy. She was arrested on an unrelated warrant and is now facing criminal charges including reckless conduct and endangering a child after she allegedly misled first responders for more than an hour about where she had delivered a baby in the woods.
