An autopsy performed on an infant whose body was found Monday between two houses was inconclusive regarding the cause and time of death, police said. Investigators were looking for the girl's mother, who they believe may have lived in one of the houses in the 1600 block of East Palm Street. "The investigation is still ongoing, and detectives are attempting to find the mother to determine what may have happened," said Santa Ana police Cpl. Jose Gonzalez. Because the baby had been dead several days, the coroner wasn't "able to tell us whether it was a stillbirth or born alive," Gonzalez said.

But now, according to several people who have recently met with him, the King of Pop, 48, has started work on his comeback. Early word is that he's shifting away from the R&B lite that characterized his last few albums toward a more urban sound.

In 1992, South Coast Repertory's sincere youth production of Jose Cruz Gonzalez's new seasonal play, "Marisol's Christmas," achieved surprising depth to deliver a heartfelt, universal message of a loving family's struggle to stay together and reach for the American Dream. That message doesn't reach as deeply at the Falcon Theatre.

In the mind of Jose Cruz Gonzalez, comets wear roller skates, suitcases hold butterflies and men levitate to the sky after making love to a woman who cannot love them in return. In the plays of Gonzalez, those wonders actually take place before your eyes. Well, perhaps not actually, but, then, that's where the art of theater shows its hand. "If you find the right collaborators," says the soft-spoken Gonzalez, "anything is possible."
