SANPETE COUNTY -- The Sanpete County Sheriff's Office has called off searching a landfill for an baby's body.

In April, deputies were notified a teenage girl had given birth to a stillborn child and put the body in a dumpster.

She confided in a friend, who called authorities.

The Sheriff's office says it has searched the most likely area of the White Hills Landfill and found nothing.

The teen mother has not been charged.
