Urban Legend – Couple Arrested at Airport with Dead Baby Stuffed With Drugs – Hoax-Slayer

Outline

Circulating message claims that police who detained a young couple with a baby at a Las Vegas airport discovered that the baby was dead and that its body had been packed with illegal drugs.  




Brief Analysis

The claims in the story are untrue. The message is an updated version of an old urban legend that has seen many variants. There are no credible reports about a crime like the one described taking place in Las Vegas or anywhere else in the United States. And, given modern airport security protocols, the drug smuggling scenario described is highly improbable. An unsubstantiated case that allegedly took place in a Gulf state back in 2000 and was reported at the time by some news outlets does NOT give any credence to the Las Vegas version discussed here.

Example

In an American airport a young couple arrived to travel to Las Vegas. The couple carried some baggage and a baby swaddled tightly in a blanket. The young couple went trough the security without a problem with the woman holding the baby very close to her body.

Once the plane had boarded, the couple took their seats and waited for the airplane to take off with the rest of the passengers. When they were in the air a hostess came to ask if the baby needed anything but the couple refused and said everything would be alright.

From that moment the hostess was a little suspicious and she watched the couple during the flight. She noticed the couple didn’t feed the baby, the baby didn’t cry even once or make any sound at all.

When the plane landed, the police were waiting for the couple at the airport. The hostess had alerted the authorities. The police searched the couple and found that the baby was dead, it’s organs had been removed and the body was packed full of illegal drugs.

Think ive just been slightly ill in my mouth, these people deserve death penaltys.
