UTAH WOMAN ARRESTED AFTER 7 DEAD BABIES FOUND

A Utah woman accused of killing seven babies she gave birth to over 10 years was arrested Sunday after police discovered the tiny bodies stuffed in separate cardboard boxes in the garage of her former home.

Megan Huntsman, 39, who lived in the Utah home until three years ago, had the infants between 1996 and 2006, investigators said.

Officers responded to a call Saturday from Huntsman's estranged husband about a dead infant at the home in Pleasant Grove, 35 miles south of Salt Lake City, police Capt. Michael Roberts said. Officers then discovered the six other bodies.

Roberts declined to comment on a motive and what Huntsman said during an interview with investigators.

The spokesman said the estranged husband lived with Huntsman when the babies were born but isn't a person of interest at this time. The man's name was not immediately released.

"We don't believe he had any knowledge of the situation," Roberts told The Associated Press.

A few stories up on the forum page, John Huntsman is mentioned.

Here, this lady Huntsman is in Utah. Just pointing that out.

So he was in jail from 2006 on and the infants date from 1996-2006. So jail is not an excuse for his lack of knowledge.

I didn't mean to imply otherwise. I'm just reporting what I heard on my local news. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Newspeak for “they haven’t compiled enough information to arrest him yet.”

Not dead babies, but I got all sorts of stuff in my garage - and my kids don’t have any idea what’s in them. Back in the day that was how I would spend an afternoon - scrounging through all the cool stuff my old man had in the garage.

Rainy days were spent in the basement!

Possible those dead babies were not hers? Did she act as a late-term abortionist?

The whole thing is grisly.

An interesting day when there are medical professionals doing this very thing without consequence. How we have made a moral mess of things.

I’m not condoning it, but it’s been practiced for thousands of years. Nothing new.
