A New Jersey couple is being accused of dumping the remains of their newborn baby boy, which has not yet been found by authorities.

NBC10 reports, after authorities in Middlesex County learned the couple attempted to get rid of the newborn's body, they charged the couple for 'hindering an investigation and desecration of human remains.'

Currently, the couple (identities not revealed) are in custody. There's no news whether the newborn's body has been recovered OR if the baby was a victim of violence.

NBC10 also reports the couple have four children, and according to a neighbor, the mother seemed to be a few months pregnant.

So perhaps, there is more to this story. Hopefully the newborn is found soon.
