Md. Mother Jailed After Bodies Of 2 Children Found in Freezer
The kicker? All three girls--the 9- and 11-year-old presumed dead (they're waiting for the bodies to thaw before they can be identified) and the 7-year-old whose escape alerted a neighbour to the tragedy--were adopted by the woman after being fostered by her, meaning that at some point there should have been oversight into placing these children in her care. There's no record that the children were sent to school. Neighbours didn't know the woman even had children; they were hidden away. The weird thing, too is that the presumption is that the children died in another town, and their bodies were moved when the woman moved to the new place. Why would anyone do that? Why wouldn't you try to bury the bodies somewhere?
I am so glad that this little girl was able to sneak out of her locked room and alert the authorities, and that the neighbour took her story of beatings and dead sisters seriously.
