PHOENIX — Newly obtained body camera shows the moments Annie Anderson, the 51-year-old accused in the 2005 'Baby Skylar' case that rocked the Valley almost two decades ago, was arrested in Snohomish County, Washington.

Anderson is accused of multiple charges in Maricopa County, including first-degree murder. The case started back in October 2005, when a newborn, later named Baby Skylar, was found in a bathroom at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

Anderson was arrested in December but was originally fighting her extradition; a governor's warrant was eventually signed.

Nearly three weeks ago in Snohomish County Court, the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office requested more time. ABC15 was told then that MCSO was working on transportation arrangements.

Anderson has arrived in Arizona and has since appeared in front of a Maricopa County judge Thursday night.
