Attorney General Curtis Hill said Friday that the women who were patients at Dr. Ulrich Klopfer’s clinics in Gary, South Bend and Fort Wayne had an expectation that their privacy would be protected, but their records were “abandoned” in the clinics when they closed years ago.
Investigators searched the buildings and other properties Thursday, and Hill says no additional sets of fetal remains were found.
He says preliminary findings indicate that all 2,246 sets of fetal remains found last week in the garage at Klopfer’s Will County, Illinois, home came from his former Indiana clinics.
Illinois authorities on Thursday said the fetal material was from abortions performed in 2000, 2001 and 2002.
