HOUSTON (KTRK) -- A human fetus was found on a Continental airlines flight that landed at Bush Intercontinental Airport. And right now, the FBI is involved, trying to find out what happened.
Investigators say the flight was from New York to Houston late Sunday afternoon. The FBI says a cleaning crew found the fetus in the trash in a bathroom on Flight 433 out of New York's LaGuardia airport.
The Continental airlines plane was parked at gate 18, which is located at the far end of the building. The plane landed at about 4:45pm Sunday at Bush Airport. Passengers got off the plane.
An hour passed before the person cleaning the bathroom made the discovery inside a trash bag in that plane's bathroom. Investigators say the child was not a full term baby, that it was a fetus. They cannot say how far along that fetus might have been in its development.
The medical examiner's office will do that and come to some conclusion on any cause of death. At this point, no one can say if there was a crime that was committed on the plane and if one was, when or where that took place.
Houston police homicide detectives are investigating this case, as is the FBI. The FBI is called in any time a crime is alleged to have occurred on board an aircraft.
Agents are working to get the manifest detailing everyone on board Flight 433. Investigators will no doubt be trying to talk to anyone who might have seen anything suspicious.
