Jar in home yields remains of fetus
Authorities are investigating after a jar containing human remains was found in a Little Rock home Wednesday.
While doing an annual termite inspection at a home in the 9800 block of Treasure Hill Road, a worker told police, he found the jar partially buried in hard-packed dirt in a crawl space.
A coroner dug out the jar and identified the remains as that of a 15- to 20-week-old fetus, authorities said. The jar appeared to have been buried for several years, according to the report.
The remains were taken to the state Crime Laboratory for further analysis, police said.
