'Piled with garbage': Abortion doctor with thousands of fetuses in cardboard boxes was a hoarder

The abortion doctor who stashed more than 2,245 fetal remains in his garage also hoarded personal property throughout his home in Crete, Illinois, leading to a weeklong investigation by police who remain bewildered about his motives.

Officials from Will County, Illinois, don't know why Dr. Ulrich "George" Klopfer hoarded fetal remains at his home and are transferring the investigation to Indiana, where Klopfer used to perform abortions before he lost his medical license in 2015. Klopfer died Sept. 3 at age 75, and the coroner, Patrick O'Neil, would say only that he appears to have died of natural causes.

One of the Indiana clinics where Klopfer practiced for decades was in South Bend. Pete Buttigieg, mayor of South Bend since 2012 and a 2020 Democratic candidate said Wednesday: "There’s no question that what happened is disturbing. It’s unacceptable." Vice President Mike Pence, who used to be Indiana's governor, tweeted that Klopfer's "actions should be fully and thoroughly investigated."

Kevin Bolger, the attorney representing Klopfer's wife, Sherry, told the Washington Examiner that the garage where the remains were discovered was so full of personal belongings that people couldn't open the door to walk into it. The rest of the house was similar.

"He was a hoarder and the house was floor to ceiling piled with garbage and boxes, old TVs, typewriters, and computers, you name it ... You can barely walk down the hallways in the home," Bolger said.

Police confirmed Thursday at a press conference that they had not found fetal remains elsewhere in the house or on the property. They also did not find evidence that Klopfer performed abortions at his home.

Hoarding is a mental disease and mitigates my hatred of that murdering puke just a timy notch.

Some who know how these doctors operate are saying these fetal remains most likely are from abortions he performed AFTER losing his license to so practice (i.e., illegally). Being an unlicensed abortionist, he would have been legally incapable of contracting for mortuary services. Being unable to legally dispose of the bodily remains of the fetuses he aborted illegally, he simply kept them.

My mother lived a tidy life by herself in a seniors apartment complex. Then one day my sister dropped in to visit her and was blown away by the amount of crap in the place. You could barely move and it wasn’t junk it was supermarket items that she kept buying over and over again. They got the place cleaned out but she kept doing it until they had to move her out and into another complex where she could be watched every day. She’s lucky she had family to watch out for her or else she would have ended up suffocated in her own garbage. It sounds like that man was going the same route.

I suspect those are the ones from after the Indiana law requiring mortuary services was passed. He probably never obeyed that law, since it would be an added expense.
