Body Of Infant Found In Box At Thrift Store

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Employees at a Huffman thrift store have discovered the body of a baby inside on the boxes left for donation.

The body was found Friday morning (March 25) at the America's Thrift Store in Huffman.

Police say it is still unclear how long the infant had been inside the box, or whether the box was dropped off at the store or picked up as part of a donation. Employees who had made the discovery were sent home for the day.

No other information was immediately available about the baby or its gender.

Authorities said the remains were taken to the Jefferson County Coroner's Office for an examination.
