Utah woman accused of killing 7 of her newborns and stuffing bodies into garage boxes
Online Edition
A Utah woman is believed by police to have killed 7 of her own children over the past 10 years, UK-based The Daily Mail reported.
Megan Huntsman, 39, of Pleasant Grove, secretly gave birth to the infants, killed them and then stuffed their tiny bodies into boxes stored in the garage, police said.
The skeletons in Huntsman’s closet were exposed Saturday by her ex-husband who was cleaning out the garage of a home they shared until 2011, a police source told the Salt Lake Tribune.
Huntsman moved out that year after what neighbors told Fox 13 was a substance abuse problem, the report said.
The former spouse was removing boxes from the garage in preparation of moving back into the home, which is owned by his parents, when he discovered one of the boxes, the report said.
Ex-husband Darren West discovered the dead baby after he and another person helping him came across a box that smelled really bad, according to Fox 13.
They opened the box to find what they determined to be a dead infant and called police. He called 911, and authorities obtained a search warrant that led them to six more dead babies packed into small boxes, authorities said.
A police official has called the investigation 'emotionally draining,' and said both he and other grizzled veterans are 'just shocked' at what they've uncovered, The Daily Mail reported.
