In an arrest affidavit, Webster County Sheriff's Detective Amy Stringer said police received a call on Nov. 22 from a caseworker who said Blaha had shown up at a Fort Dodge hospital saying she had given birth days earlier at the apartment she shared with Thoma, the father of the baby and of Blaha's 2-year-old child.Thoma then placed the baby's body in a plastic storage container, wrapped the container in trash bags and carried it out of the apartment in a backpack, the affidavit said.“Thoma and Blaha have both confirmed ... that once Kayleen was born, Thoma cut the umbilical cord with a pair of scissors that was present within their apartment and shortly thereafter cut additional sections of the cord to be kept to remember the baby,” Stringer wrote in the affidavit.Stringer said she also questioned Thoma, who admitted to drowning the baby, saying he feared police would discover meth in her system and take their 2-year-old child from them.The affidavit said text messages between Blaha and Thoma indicate he dumped the baby's body in a wooded area, but a search there turned up nothing."
