The mother and grandfather of a newborn found dead in a ditch in Iowa have been charged with first-degree murder.
The mother and grandfather of a newborn found dead in a ditch in Iowa have been charged with first-degree murder, and court documents say they told investigators the baby was still alive when they put him in a trash bag and abandoned him.
Rodney Staude also confessed and said he helped his daughter dispose of the bag in a ditch near Norwalk, according to the documents. Law enforcement officers received a tip from Megan Staude’s co-workers on March 8, leading to the discovery of the body. On March 13, a witness showed authorities a text conversation with Megan Staude, in which the witness asked her, “Was the baby alive when you left him?” and she replied, “A little,” the complaint says.
