POCATELLO, Idaho -- Police have found the body of an unborn child in Pocatello. The body was left in a box at a home off of Hiline Road.
Police received a call Sunday from a Shelley woman named Brenda Carnahan who had heard about the incident and was concerned.
Police found the fetus in a box, and sent it to the coroner's office for an autopsy.
Any potential charges are pending the results of the autopsy, because police don't know if this was a miscarriage or an abortion.
Bannock County prosecutor Mark Heideman has been contacted by police, and he is waiting on the autopsy results, as well.
There are a number of legal situations that could result from the bizaare incident, Heideman said.
Carnahan said she felt the need to speak up when she was contacted about the situation by a family member.
"I'm a grandmother myself. And the love and the compassion I have for my grandkids? They're my life. And I felt that if somebody didn't speak up for this baby, who would? It doesn't have a voice anymore," Carnahan said.
Police said they hope to have the autopsy results within a few days.
Brenda is Mrs. Bigheadfred...

Yikes! Prayers for you & the baby. That must have been traumatic for you.
Not as traumatic for me as for my wife. I shouldn’t really get into details since this is under investigation.
But I’ll make a spot judgment.
As sick and wrong as it gets.
Wow.. Give your wife a hug and a kiss.
I like stories where people do the right thing simply because it’s the right thing.
Prayers for the soul of the baby.
FRegards,
LH
Prayers for the wife and the unborn.
Very sorry to hear this, bhf.
God Bless your wife and prayers that she’s coping.
The article is not clear but you've explained why. Gotta hope your judgment is off and the explanation is something relatively benign.
She is a good woman! A hero. It takes guts to do the right thing.
She's got a toehold after 25 years of me.
But this is just too much like a scene out of the zombie apocalypse.
I’m speechless bhf.
>> “And I felt that if somebody didn’t speak up for this baby, who would? It doesn’t have a voice anymore,” Carnahan said.
Mrs. Carnahan did the right thing. May God give her the strength she needs to have peace amidst this bizarre incident.
It sounds difficult and hurtful. So sorry for both of you.
Prayers up, my Brother. May you walk in beauty. Our thoughts and prayers are w/you and yours.
FRiends always,
SG
aaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhh
God have mercy.
Thankfully, He does . . . such infants are HIS in Heaven. No doubt.
Nevertheless, the lives of those involved . . . Sigh.
Keep us abreast of what happens. This poor infant, your poor wife!
Reading Druge headlines today was like reading the news of hell.
Who’s got time for Drudge?
Wanna come ride our roller coaster?
I will. We'll see what the autopsy says.
