Kristina Fuelling, 27, was being held in the Placer County Jail on Tuesday after her arrest in the death of her baby, Faith Evelyn. The infant's body was found in a bathroom sink Sunday in the family's rental home in Granite Bay, an affluent suburb east of Sacramento. Court records show she and her husband, Nicholas Fuelling, had two home foreclosures in 2006.
