  • The Indiana Attorney General’s office dropped a report on Ulrich Klopfer on New Years Eve.
  • The report details an investigation into the prolific abortionist who stored thousands of fetal remains on his property.
  • Klopfer’s clinics were found in disgusting states of disarray, the report found, and the thousands of fetal remains cannot be identified.

The Indiana Attorney General’s office on New Years Eve dropped a report on the late Dr. Ulrich Klopfer, unveiling new details about the prolific abortionist.

The Preliminary Report on the Investigation of Dr. Ulrich Klopfer delves into the life and practices of Klopfer, whose family discovered a collection of 2,246 medically preserved fetal remains in his Illinois home after his death at the age of 79 in September. Authorities from the Will County Sheriff’s Office later discovered less than 100 additional fetal remains in October, stashed away in the trunk of Klopfer’s car.

Klopfer ran three different Indiana abortion clinics during his lifetime and performed over 30,000 abortions since he began operating in 1974. Authorities examined each of these clinics, and their findings are also detailed in the AG report – a report that examines Klopfer’s misconduct as an abortion doctor, the resultant suspension of his medical license, and the subsequent finding of over 2,000 fetal remains in his home.

The report, compiled by the office of Indiana Attorney General Curtis T. Hill, Jr. and posted to the public on Dec. 31, also reveals that the fetal remains Klopfer stored on his property cannot be identified and will be interred.  (RELATED: Abortion Doctor Who Hoarded Fetuses Faulted WWII Bombings For His ‘Perception’ Of Humanity, Filmmaker Says)

“Amid new details in the report is the fact that, based on the poor condition of the fetal remains and unreliable nature of the accompanying records, it is not possible to make an independent verification of the identities of the individual fetal remains,” the AG’s office announced in a press release.

The fetal remains were found in “various states of decay,” according to the report.

“The remains were mostly found inside molding boxes and old Styrofoam coolers containing large red medical waste bags,” the report says. “It appeared as though each remain had been placed in a small clear plastic specimen bag for purposes of being medically preserved in a chemical suspected to be formalin, a formaldehyde derivative. However, many of the bags had degraded over time and/or suffered damage, resulting in leakage from the individual bags into the outer bag, box, or cooler.”

“Various personal health information” was written on the front of the bags in black marker, the report said, such as a patient chart number, date, or the patient’s initials. The information “varied greatly” and some of the information had “eroded over time due to the formalin leakage.”

The Will County Sheriff’s Department also discovered health records of patients in Klopfer’s garage with startling errors, omissions, and “improbable entries.”

“Many health records were missing entries for particular fields, such as name, date of birth, or social security number,” the report said. “Other forms had partial entries for some fields, such as only month and day being listed for date of birth or only a partial social security number. In some instances, the patient was identified by age, meaning there was no name, social security number, or chart number listed on the individual record.”

The report details that Klopfer’s clinics were in chaotic states of disarray. The basement of Klopfer’s Friendship and Family Planning Clinic of Indiana had “suffered severe water damage and was infested by rodents.”

Meanwhile, Klopfer’s South Bend, Indiana clinic was littered with “boxes, garbage, and debris” which were “stacked from floor to the ceiling in each room.” Klopfer practiced here while 2020 presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg served as mayor of South Bend.

“The building was in complete disarray,” the report says. “Health records were intermingled with boxes upon boxes of miscellaneous items including car parts, rotting food, unsterilized used medical instruments, hundreds of empty soda cans and protein shake bottles, various personal items, and medical supplies –including loose syringes. Some of the health records were soaking in an unidentified liquid and were covered in mold.”

It is noted multiple times in the report that Klopfer failed to lock his cabinets or properly store medical records.

The report notes that a final report will be published when the investigation concludes. “In the interim, the OAG will ensure that the fetal remains are treated with the appropriate dignity and respect. Once arrangements are finalized, the fetal remains will be interred in accordance with Indiana law.”

The Daily Caller News Foundation reached out to Hill’s office for comment on the timing of the report’s release.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
