Police in Rolla arrested two parents child abuse after discovering their four-month-old baby suffered 18 broken bones.
Shawn D. Crall, 26, of Rolla and Hannah M. Crall, 22, of Bolivar, are facing two counts of abuse or neglect of a child each.
Police began investigating the case in October.
During the initial investigation, investigators say they determined the victim had sustained a broken arm by unknown causes. During the course of the follow-up investigation, doctors determined in addition to the broken arm, the child had sustained eighteen other broken bones on various parts of the body, all of which were in various stages of healing.
Investigators say all of the injuries sustained by the child were determined to be consistent with inflicted trauma and not by accidental means.
A judge set bond at $250,000 for each of them. Hannah Crall bonded out of jail.
