Prosecutors have filed six first-degree murder charges against a woman accused of killing six babies after giving birth to them, and keeping their bodies in boxes in her garage.
The charges were filed Monday morning shortly before 39-year-old Megan Huntsman appeared in court for the second time. She was informed of the charges during the brief hearing.
Prosecutors say Huntsman is the only suspect in the deaths of the babies. They say a seventh dead infant found in the garage appears to have been stillborn.
Investigators believe Huntsman's estranged husband, Darren West, is the babies' father, though they are awaiting DNA results to confirm that. West is not a suspect.
Huntsman is being held on $6 million bail.
