Thank you, shinycatcreations! Welcome to the family

I wondered what happened with this case! I found a link for a video stating the autopsy was complete, but, the results not made public. I'm guessing since the sperm donor was arrested, it wasn't a natural death.

Here is the first article. The second one is a summary of information we already have.

Couple Encased Dead Baby in Concrete Claim it was a Still Born They Were Preserving for a Proper Memorial

A couple who placed a dead baby in a bucket filled with concrete claim they were preserving the body for a memorial.

Matthew and Krystal Scroggs, from Pleasant Hill, Missouri, say the baby was stillborn at five months and that they were waiting for her to recover from the birth to hold a burial.

Mr. Scroggs, 28, has now been arrested and charged with abandonment of a corpse.

Cass County police responded to a report claiming that the Scroggs was in possession of a stolen car and used drugs.

They had also been tipped off that Mrs Scroggs had given birth in early October and that the child had died and evidence would be found in a plastic tote.

Police found the stolen vehicle and after taking Mr. Scroggs in for questioning they received permission from him to search their home.

Upon their search, they found a blue plastic bucket containing the remains of a male infant encased in concrete.

After initially denying that his wife had been pregnant, Mr. Scroggs admitted that Krystal had delivered a stillborn boy at five months which he then put in the blue bucket and filled with concrete.

Crime scene: Police were called to the home in Pleasant Hill, Missouri after a report of a stolen vehicle, drug use and a tip about the baby boy in the bucket

Tragedy: The Scroggs, who already have four children, claim the baby was stillborn at five months

Defense: Mrs. Scroggs claims her husband put the baby's body in the concrete to preserve it until she was strong enough to build a memorial for the stillborn child

Mrs. Scroggs, who has four children with her husband, says she saw no reason to call 911 after her alleged miscarriage and that she had been mentally preparing to build a memorial with her husband.

‘The only reason my baby was not in the ground and my husband is being accused of abandonment of a corpse is because I begged my husband to wait until I was healthy enough and strong enough to finish it, (the memorial), hand-in-hand with him together,’ Mrs. Scroggs told FOX 4.

Mr. Scroggs has been charged and will appear in court in December as they await autopsy results to determine if the child was stillborn or died outside the womb.

‘I don’t care what anybody’s opinion is, I don’t care what you guys think,’ Mrs. Scroggs added.

‘I never abandoned and I never have and I never will.’

I'm sorry, BigFoot

They find me.

I like the play on words there. My apologies for the late response :)

So....were they going to chip the baby out of the concrete for the memorial? Or just bury the whole bucket?
