HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — Investigators were called to an apartment complex in Spring Monday after they said a plumber found a fetus in a pipe.
The fetus was found at about 10:30 a.m. after residents of the Glen Cove Apartments -- which is along Imperial Valley just north of FM 1960 -- had been complaining of drainage issues since Friday.
The plumber was called and started working outside one of the apartment buildings. That's when the fetus, believed to be just weeks old, was found when he opened a pipe.
"All I saw when I looked out my window, which is right up there, was all the police cars. Like what the heck is going on," said resident Linda McQueen. "Never thought anything like this in a million years."
"That's sad to lose a baby like that and not tell nobody," said resident Paula Smith.
A woman from the building where the pipe was connected was seen being taken away in an ambulance.
An investigation is ongoing though detectives said this is possibly related to a miscarriage.
According to the March of Dimes, about 80% of miscarriages happen before the 12th week of pregnancy.
Officials said they know who the parents are but still aren't sure what happened.

How awful for all involved.
More evil.
The story says the fetus was only a few weeks old, as if there had been a miscarriage.
I doubt that was the reason for the pipe clog as it would be barely large enough to recognize.
I’m sure they don’t mean a 2 week old baby was in the pipe.
“That’s when the fetus, believed to be just weeks old”. My question is that if it was a few weeks old, it was a human being, and not just a fetus, and therefore a murder was committed.
She may have miscarried in the commode and they flushed it.
Depending where in the system the obstruction occurred, the pipe would have been 4” diameter for a residential dwelling. Something like 6” diameter for a small, multi-tenant apartment building.
