The parents were identified as Roland Grabowski, 42, and his wife Donna, 41. According to the Collin County Sheriff's Office in Texas, they received a dispatch call on Saturday for an alleged unreported death to a home in Princeton.

Later that morning, investigators said the parents of the infant boy were interviewed, but they initially declined to cooperate, according to a CBS Local report.

After the Texas couple was arrested, the police found the body of the infant boy submerged in a five-gallon bucket of tar.

Collin County Sheriff Jim Skinner said he had seen many crazy things in his career, but this is the first time he found an infant in a bucket of tar.

According to a published report of People, parents attempted to cover up the crime and initially refused to cooperate with the investigators. Instead of admitting to the crime, they told the police officers that they found the boy's dead body in bed on July 29 and did not report about it.

Skinner told the news outlet: "There was an attempt to deceive us as to what had happened and the whereabouts of their child Micah. It's tragic and it's sad enough any time we have the death of an infant. But it's absolutely reprehensible when you lie and deceive investigators as to the location of the body."

It was also found that the Texas couple tried to cover up their son's death by asking one of their friends to cover for them. In the warrant of arrests, it was stated that the couple said: "I need you to say your baby is ours. Quick in and out. They just need to see."

Donna also allegedly lied to the police officers. She told them that the boy was born at the Medical Center of McKinney. However, investigators found no record of birth at the hospital where the mother claimed their son was born.

The body of the child, Micah, was already turned over to the Collin County Medical Examiner for further examination and to look into other scenarios before the child was placed inside a bucket of tar. Police suspected that the child was initially abuse.

Both parents are now facing different charges. Donna is currently facing four felony charges, including child endangerment, abuse of a corpse, and tampering with evidence. Her bond was set to $1,075,000. Her lawyer did not give any comments about the crime.

Meanwhile, Roland is also facing the same charges and is now in jail. His bond was set to $925,000. It is not clear if Roland will have a lawyer who will speak on his behalf.

Authorities eventually discovered that he has a criminal record as a sex offender in 2008 for two minor girls.
