This is horrific. I have no idea how you could do this other than some major mental illness.

In short, she says one was stillborn and she strangled or suffocated the other 6. So disturbing!

@Emsmems: WHAT!?
I can't continue to the article. I've heard enough.
eta: anyone killing infants has GOT to be suffering very severely from drug use and/or mental illness.

Why did she continue having babies? And how did no one discover this until now? She put them in her garage in cardboard boxes. So disturbing and heartbreaking.

@lawbee11: You'd think the smell of deteriorating bodies would be a sign....
Either way, absolutely morbid and frightening. WTF!

Do they know they were her children? I can't comprehend this situation.

I was reading about this earlier in the week. It is so disturbing and frankly, just super weird. Apparently her grown children and husband lived in the house with her for at least some of the years she was pregnant and killing infants. How did NO ONE notice anything? I know I'm a skeptical person, but for real? Come on now.

@yoursilverlining: That was my thought when I read this on Monday. How did her husband not know she was pregnant that many times??

@yoursilverlining: right?!? How did no one notice she was pregnant???
I just don't know how you can continually do that over and over again. Not that once is ok, but I guess it's easier to wrap your brain around someone freaking out and doing it once. But SIX TIMES?!? So horrific!
@TemperanceBrennan: yes, she admitted to all of it!

My husband told me about this yesterday, I was horrified! It's so extremely sad. Those poor babies.

I saw this story this weekend, I just don't understand how her 3 adult children and her husband didn't realize she was pregnant SEVEN times! Where were they when she went into labor each time? There are so many unanswered questions and I'll be disappointed if more charges don't come for the family members. Someone had to know!

@yoursilverlining: you're not skeptical; you're realistic. That is COMPLETE B/S. I am married; I know for a fact I could not hide 7 pregnancies from my spouse. There is chance and there are odd situations, but 7 times? Nope. That's just B/S. There is more to this story.

I don't think it's that outlandish to imagine that someone knew something/saw something but hid it all along. Sometimes, people do weird things to protect people they love, you know?
eta: not to mention that mental illness carries a stigma and often people are embarassed to reach out for help.

I read this yesterday, she has 3 adult children, the 3rd was born within the same timeframe that the killings happened. Like PP mentioned, how does one not notice she's pregnant? She obviously has something going on in the brain, but I feel like the family should have had an idea of something going on!

Wasn't her husband in prison/estranged? I figured they weren't his kids she was pregnant with/murdered.
Either way, too sad to think about

@hellocupcake: the husband wasn't sentenced to prison until August 2006 (I believe) and this occured between 1996-2006.

I can't with this kind of stuff. Ugh so twisted and sick, it blows my mind.
Why did she continue to have more even after killing off the first? None of this makes any sense.

I saw this, too. Apparently the husband was not a person of interest/ suspect. Yeah, how did her kids and husband not know.
Did she just hide every pregnancy? Or did she not know she was pregnant? Hard to believe though.

DH gets upset every time there's a story about someone killing their child. Because it took us so long to get pregnant, he would always say "Why don't they just give that kid to me? I want a kid and can't have one. Why not just give the baby to someone who wants it, like me?"

I saw this update today, not much new information. Apparently it takes longer than the 30 seconds it shows on tv shows to get DNA results...
Also, this line: "Authorities have said they think they know Huntsman's motive, but they have declined to reveal it publicly."
