The mother of twin baby girls found dead in the trunk of a car has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
22-year-old Jackie Burkle was arrested and taken to the Story County jail.
Officials say Huxley police received a call Saturday to do a welfare check on Burkle. Responding officers learned she had given birth at home.
The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation says the babies’ bodies were found in the trunk of a car parked at the house. Autopsies were performed Monday but results may not be available for several weeks.
