DES MOINES, Iowa – Two people have been arrested for murder after a newborn child was found dead on a road in Iowa, police said Monday.

Police in the city of Norwalk were contacted March 8 with concerns about the safety of a child, and police started an investigation with the state Division of Criminal Investigation, according to a news release. Law enforcement and volunteers found a newborn child that had died along the road in Warren County.

Law enforcement determined that Megan K. Staude, 25, of Norwalk had given birth to the baby in late February. She and her 64-year-old father, Rodney A. Staude, allegedly left the baby to die and then “disposed of it”, according to the release. They have both been arrested for murder.
