A St. Louis man was flabbergasted to discover the remains of a baby in his mother's freezer. He was cleaning out her home after she had passed away. Adam Smith had moved into his mothers home in Missouri while she was battling an illness to help care for her in her final stages of life. When she passed away, he started going through her belongings. He was sorting out what to keep and what to to throw away. He had remembered a box that had been in his mother’s freezer his whole life. He was told never to open it. “I'm 37 and it has been in my freezer for 37 years. I was always told it was a wedding cake top,"

Smith recalled. But when he opened it, Smith found a frozen baby, wrapped in pink fleece. “It still had skin, hair, and everything,” Smith said. “It was mummified.” Smith said that his mother had mentioned she had lost a child before he was born. He said that his mother was a private person who would never talk about it. Smith also decided to reach out to his estranged father about what he had found. “He told me my mom was pregnant on their first date and that the next time he saw her, she wasn’t,” he said. Smith said that he is confused and upset and that the discovery has made grieving for his mother more difficult. “I want more answers,” he added. Watch Video Below
