In addition, suspect Megan Huntsman told police in a phone conversation on the day the first body was found by her husband that the baby was stillborn and she had been afraid to go to police or a hospital, the search warrant affidavit says,
She didn’t say why she was scared.
Authorities also reported finding bloody leather gloves and women’s underwear in the garage, and infant booties and clothes in the master bedroom. Police took stained sections of a mattress in the master bedroom as evidence.
Police have said Darren West, the estranged husband of Huntsman, 39, found the first body after opening a small white box covered with electrician’s tape on April 12.
