Couple charged ⚖ over pregnant woman's death, in North Dakota

A couple in North Dakota are facing murder charges over allegations they killed a pregnant woman to claim her baby as their own.

Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind, 22, was eight months pregnant when she went missing on 19 August. Her body was found by kayakers in the Red river on Sunday, wrapped in plastic and trapped by a log.

Her death has been preliminarily ruled a homicide, according to Fargo police. Thirty-two-year-old William Hoehn and 38-year-old Brooke Crews are in custody.

They have told police differing accounts of how they came to be caring for a healthy two-day-old newborn after Ms LaFontaine-Greywind visited their apartment on the day she went missing.
