A human fetus has been recovered from a city’s sewer system in Prentiss County, according to Booneville Police Chief Michael Ramey.
Officials released that the city pumped its sewer system dry to remove the fetus on Wednesday.
Although authorities did not disclose the exact location where the fetus was discovered, a source told WTVA that it was found in a small lake off Veterans Drive in Booneville.
Ramey stated that at this time, the fetus has been turned over to the Prentiss County Coroner’s Office for further investigation.
