Fetus found at shuttle debris search facility
03/07/2003
CORSICANA, Texas - Authorities are questioning women helping with the search for space shuttle Columbia debris after what appeared to be a dead newborn baby or fetus was found in a portable toilet at a search command post facility in East Texas Thursday.
The area's tight security has led the initial investigation to focus on women who are part of the shuttle search, Corsicana Police Chief G.M. Cox said. The North Central Texas facility has a single-access entry staffed with a sheriff's deputy and local police and personnel are required to wear picture identification badges at all times.
"I believe we've interviewed four women (from the camp) so far, but if we have to, we'll interview all of the about 300 women there," Cox said.
Police haven't ruled out the possibility that the remains were left by someone who isn't involved in the search, Cox said in Friday's editions of the Corsicana Daily Sun.
Cox said the remains appeared to be those of a third-trimester female fetus. An autopsy has been ordered.
"We don't really know if there was any foul play involved or not," Cox said, adding that he did not know what charges would or could be leveled.
This guy's a police chief? His statement makes him a maroon.
Call Chief Moose!
Surely they can tell the difference. The pro-abortion people have been telling us that a "fetus" is nothing like a "baby" for years now.
