ATHENS, Ohio (WSAZ)-- Athens County Prosecutor Dave Warren says charges are being considered against a Hollister woman who miscarried and buried the body of the fetus in her backyard.
She told investigators she was doing drugs at the time and tried to hide what happened for fear of being charged with murder.
Her name has not been released.
Warren says officers using a cadaver dog searched the property earlier this week but did not find a body.
The incident happened three weeks ago, but authorities learned about it just this week.

It says in the Athens Messenger that she took the fetus and wrapped it in a towel and threw it in the trash. Also she admitted to being scared that her "heroin" use caused the miscarriage. Plus there are two people being charged for obstructing justice. So NO it wasn't anything prescribed like Paxil. It's a shame because there are people out there that would give anything to have a child. This baby didn't even have a chance. That's sad. Read the newspaper!!

There's no excuse for an act like this unless you are mentally challenged. The laws are too lenient in this country. They need to make the time fit the crime
