Bridgette Smith was arrested in Florida this week in connection with body parts of two infants found under a house in North Carolina.

Smith, 41, was taken into custody Wednesday in Jacksonville on a fugitive warrant. Police found her at the Hawkins Motel in Baldwin, FL. Warrants revealed Smith may have been pregnant 10 times, but reportedly covered up her pregnancies when people asked about them.

Smith was arrested and charged with failure to report a death after police found body parts of two infants under a house in Smithfield, North Carolina, in April 2016. The body parts were found wrapped in towels in two separate bags under the home, according to court documents.

A resident found the bags when he was running a cable under the home.

Other than being arrested in Duval County, it’s unclear what other connection Smith has to Northeast Florida.
