JOLIET, Ill. — More than 2,000 medically preserved fetal remains have been found at the Illinois home of a former Indiana abortion clinic doctor who died last week, authorities said.

The Will County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release late Friday that an attorney for Dr. Ulrich Klopfer’s family contacted the coroner’s office Thursday about possible fetal remains being found at the home in an unincorporated part of Will County in northeastern Illinois.

The sheriff’s office said authorities found 2,246 preserved fetal remains but there’s no evidence medical procedures were performed at the home.

The coroner’s office took possession of the remains. An investigation is underway.

A message left Saturday seeking additional comment on the discovery was not returned by the Will County Sheriff’s Office investigations department.

Klopfer, who died Sept. 3, was a longtime doctor at an abortion clinic in South Bend, Indiana. It closed after the state revoked the clinic’s license in 2015. The Indiana State Department of Health had previously issued complaints against the clinic, accusing it of lacking a registry of patients, policies regarding medical abortion, and a governing body to determine policies.

Klopfer was believed to be Indiana’s most prolific abortion doctor, with thousands of procedures performed in multiple Indiana counties over several decades, the South Bend Tribune reported.

Mike Fichter, the president of Indiana Right to Life, said in a statement sent Friday night that “we are horrified” by the discovery of the fetal remains at Klopfer’s Illinois residence. He called for Indiana authorities to help determine whether those remains have any connection to abortion operations in Indiana.

Klopfer’s license was suspended by Indiana’s Medical Licensing Board in November 2016 after the panel found a number of violations, including a failure to ensure that qualified staff was present when patients received or recovered from medications given before and during abortion procedures.

Klopfer was no longer practicing by that time, but he told the panel he had never lost a patient in 43 years of doing abortions and that he hoped to eventually re-open his clinics.

In June 2014, Klopfer was charged in St. Joseph County, Indiana, with a misdemeanor for failure to file a timely public report. He was accused of waiting months to report an abortion he provided to a 13-year-old girl in South Bend. That charge was later dropped after Klopfer completed a pre-trial diversion program.

Indiana's attorney general said Monday that he will work with his Illinois counterpart to investigate what he called the "grisly discovery" of more than 2,000 medically preserved fetal remains at the Illinois home of a late doctor who performed abortions in Indiana.

Republican Attorney General Curtis Hill said he and Democratic Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul have "agreed to work together" as Hill's office coordinates an investigation of the remains found at the home of Dr. Ulrich Klopfer, who died Sept. 3.

"The grisly discovery of these fetal remains at the Illinois home of a deceased abortion doctor shocks the conscience. Further, we have reason to believe there is an Indiana connection to these remains," he said in a statement.

Judd Deere, a White House spokesman, issued a statement Monday evening decrying the situation and calling for a full investigation to determine if anyone else was involved and whether crimes were committed.

The Will County Sheriff's Office in northeastern Illinois announced late Friday that Klopfer's relatives had discovered 2,246 preserved fetal remains while sorting through his property. The county coroner's office has taken possession of those remains, and it, the sheriff's department and local prosecutors were already investigating.

Hill's announcement came after several Indiana lawmakers called for his office to investigate whether the remains were illegally transported across state lines. Lawmakers are also seeking a probe of the shuttered clinics in Allen, Lake and St. Joseph's counties where Klopfer had performed abortions to make sure no fetal remains are being stored at the former clinics in Fort Wayne, Gary and South Bend.

Indiana state Rep. Ron Bacon, a Chandler Republican, called the discovery at Klopfer's home "seriously disturbing." He also expressed concern that "there may be other remains in the Indiana clinics where he performed abortions."

Several Indiana lawmakers held a news conference Monday outside Klopfer's former clinic in Fort Wayne, the county seat of northeastern Indiana's Allen County, calling for multiple state investigations.

"We have a lot of work to do to make sure this never, ever happens again," said Republican Sen. Liz Brown of Fort Wayne.

The remains of 165 aborted babies were found in the trunk of one of Dr. Ulrich Klopfer's stored automobiles last week. This is in addition to the 2,246 aborted babies found on Klopfer’s Illinois property in September. Klopher died on Sept. 3 at the age of 79.

“A total of eight cars belonging to Dr. Ulrich Klopfer were located on the property,” according to a press release issued by the Will County, Illinois police office. “In one of the vehicle’s trunk compartments, were five plastic bags and one box discovered that contained numerous medically preserved fetal remains.”

Attorney General Curtis Hill said his office’s investigation determined the fetal remains were from abortions the late Dr. Ulrich Klopfer had performed at his three Indiana clinics between 2000 and 2003 and found that Klopfer failed to arrange for their proper disposition as required by state law.

“No one is believed to have assisted Dr. Klopfer in his actions, and because Dr. Klopfer is dead, he cannot be charged with a crime or with medical misconduct,” Hill said in a statement, adding that he “does not recommend any criminal charges or licensing actions in this case.”

The investigation also found that Klopfer failed to arrange for the appropriate disposal of tens of thousands of patient health records after his clinics in Forty Wayne, Gary and South Bend closed in 2014 and 2015. Klopfer’s medical license was suspended indefinitely in 2016 by Indiana regulators who cited shoddy record-keeping and
substandard patient monitoring.

After Klopfer died in September 2019 at age 79, relatives sorting through his belongings in the garage at his home in Will County, Illinois, found 2,246 sets of medically preserved fetal remains stacked floor to ceiling in that garage. Later, 165 more were found in a trunk of a car at a Chicago-area business where Klopfer kept several vehicles.

Those 2,411 fetal remains were buried in February at a South Bend, Indiana, cemetery in a donated plot during a mass burial ceremony where Hill said their discovery was “horrifying to anyone with normal sensibilities.”

“We hope the results of our investigation provide much-needed closure to everyone who has been impacted by this gruesome case,” according to Wednesday’s statement from Hill, a Republican who leaves office in January.

ABC57.com "Doctor Ulrich Klopfer vilified in life and death" suggests the "reasons" , Bit.

At that link they ask was it hoarding? Was it the finances? Was it because he compared his need to beat out his competition for the number of abortions performed? Or.......he was a child when the Americans bombed Dresden and spoke of the amount of Germans killed in his hometown where he grew up?

In all my days I'd say I can not believe this atrocity except Kermit Gosnell comes from my hometown.

These photos make my stomach sick.


Through the Freedom of Information Act, CBS 2 obtained never before seen photos of the 6,275 human chains and dollies needed to remove the grizzly evidence.

Among the normal garage staples of the recently deceased Dr. Ulrich Klopfer of recycle bins, tires and ladders, were boxes.

Boxes behind luggage as high as the windows. Boxes stacked amongst buckets and tools up to the ceiling. Some were wilting and rotting. All of them numbered and cataloged. All of them containing fetal remains: 2,246 in all.
