A GRUESOME DISCOVERY ON AN
AIRPLANE IN LAGUARDIA.
A FETUS IN ONE OF THE BATHROOMS.
Reporter: OUTSIDE OF
TERMINAL B, A VERY DISTURBING
DISCOVERY.
IT DELAYED THE TRAVELERS TO
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA.
IT HAS LED TO AN INVESTIGATION
BY PORT AUTHORITY POLICE AND
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.
THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE
AIRPLANE INVOLVED.
THE CLEANING CREW DISCOVERED A
FETUS IN A TOILET ONBOARD THE
AMERICAN AIRLINES AIRBUS JET.
THE AIRPLANE ARRIVED FROM
CHARLOTTE AS AMERICAN AIRLINES
FLIGHT 1942.
OVERNIGHT IT WAS MOVED TO A
MAINTENANCE HANGAR WHEN A CREW
FOUND IN THE FETUS THIS
MORNING.
A SOURCE TELLS US THAT IT WAS
HIDDEN IN A TOILET UNDER MANY
SHEETS OF TOILET PAPER.
WE HAVE A STATEMENT FROM
AMERICAN AIRLINES THAT WE WOULD
LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU AS WE
CONTINUE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT
THE TRAGIC AND SENSITIVE
SITUATION.
WE ARE ACTIVELY COOPERATING
WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT IN THEIR
INVESTIGATION.
AS PART OF THAT INVESTIGATION,
POLICE ARE LOOKING AT
SURVEILLANCE VIDEO OF PEOPLE
THAT BOARDED THE AIRPLANE IN
CHARLOTTE TO TRY TO IDENTIFY
ANY WOMEN THAT WERE PHYSICALLY
PREGNANT.
I AM TOLD THAT AS THEY WORK
THROUGH THE CASE, CHARGES ARE
POSSIBLE.
THEY COULD RANGE FROM HOMICIDE,
WHICH IS UNLIKELY, ASSUMING
