Utah mom six babies case is one of the most heinous crimes ever in Utah. A guilty mom admitted to horrible killing of her own child each time she gives birth through strangulation or suffocation. The Utah mom six babies and a stillborn found wrapped in plastic bag in cardboard boxes will now be given justice.
On Monday, the verdict was served to Megan Huntsman, 40, for killing her six babies and a stillborn. In February, Huntsman pleaded guilty to six counts of felony murder after Utah mom six babies and a stillborn was murdered.
Huntsman did the monstrous crime from 1996 to 2006. She faces at least 30 years in prison before she can be entitled for parole.
"I really thought I had seen it all until this case," Judge Darold McDade stated during Huntsman's sentencing on Monday.
"Each baby was found wrapped in either a towel or a shirt, placed inside of a plastic bag, and each was contained in a separate cardboard box," the statement reads in the court papers.
Utah mom six babies and a stillborn will not be discovered if Huntsman former husband didn't find a baby enclosed in a plastic bag in their garage last year. Darren West was proven to be the father of all the seven babies through DNA tests, but claimed that he was not aware of any pregnancies, CNN reports.
It was found out that Huntsman did the heinous crime to her seven children due to her addiction with drugs called methamphetamine, alcohol, depression and abusive marriage.
Utah mom six babies and a stillborn were found stored in cardboard boxes that Huntsman placed in the garage.
The remains of Utah mom six babies and a stillborn were discovered by West, Huntsman estranged husband last spring during clean up in the garage, the USA Today reported. During that time West just finished serving a stint in jail for charges related to drugs.
"In some small way, I wanted to help them avoid the terrible life I would have given them," Megan Huntsman said in the statement that her attorney reads. "I deprived my little babies of the opportunity of life. ... Those babies aren't coming back, and they never will because of my actions."
Family of Huntsman was all shocked to what they discovered. Huntsman admitted that she hid the crime she committed for 18 years. Utah mom six babies case was considered as "callous" and "indifferent" and prosecutors doubt that she will be ever given the chance to go out of jail.
Huntsman three children were all heartbroken after learning that their "loving" mother could ever commit such crime. For them Huntsman was a shy and timid person and a caring mother.
It was also reported that Utah mom six babies and the stillborn were packed in the cardboard boxes in the garage and were never placed anywhere for fear that she will be caught so she let the bodies decomposed there for years.
The smell of decomposition never bothered her, Pleasant Grove Police Detective Dan Beckstrom said as he testified in court.
It also remained a mystery how Huntsman was able to hide her pregnancy, birth and murder to the six babies and the last baby, who was a stillborn. Throughout the Utah mom six babies pregnancy, no one was able to know what she did and what happened, not even her own family, the Fox News reported.
