Woman keeping babies in freezer not charged

A 69-year-old woman from Boston, whose apartment was found to have frozen infants in the freezer in 2022, will not be charged.

A probe into the case started back in 2022 — which was deemed as “one of the most complex, unusual and perplexing” investigations by District Attorney Kevin Hayden.

It has been said in the statement that it has not been concluded if the four babies were born alive or not, and that is why no criminal charge has been filed against the woman.

Additionally, the attorney stated that according to the medical examiner, there have been no signs of trauma.

The father of the babies reportedly died in 2011, while the mother is said to be in a healthcare facility.

When she was questioned with regards to what was found, she “appeared confused and demonstrated a lack of understanding about where she was and who she was speaking to,” Hayden said.

The mother is said to have five children and one of them was put up for adoption and had a birth record.

It is still a mystery as to whether the children were born dead, killed, or did something else happen; and moreover, why the mother did not disclose her pregnancy.

Background:

Back in 2022, four babies were found in a freezer – two boys, two girls — in South Boston. The DNA proved that all four were siblings.
