Four infant bodies discovered in Boston freezer; no criminal charges

A lawyer in Massachusetts decided not to accuse anyone of a crime, two years after four babies were discovered in a freezer in a South Boston apartment.

The bodies of two boys and two girls, probably born a long time ago, were discovered in shoe boxes wrapped in tinfoil in November 2022. The long investigation couldn’t determine if the babies were born alive. They found out who the parents were, but the father had died and the mother, who is now 69 years old, probably won’t be able to go to court because she has problems with thinking and memory.

“This investigation was really hard, different, and confusing for us. But now we finished it. ” Suffolk District Attorney Kevin Hayden said that although they have some answers, there are still many parts of this case that may never be explained.

Hayden said there are still questions about when and where the babies were born, if they were born alive, what happened to them, and how and why the mother hid her pregnancies.

The woman’s lawyer, who works at a nursing home, did not reply when asked for a comment.

The detectives who talked to the mom said she seemed mixed up and didn’t know where she was or who she was talking to. She couldn’t give them any useful information.

“The prosecutor’s office can’t legally continue a case if they don’t think they can win it in court,” the statement said.

The babies were found when the woman’s family was cleaning her apartment. DNA tests proved that all four of them are brothers and sisters. An investigation found that they were 37 to 40 weeks old, and still had their umbilical cords attached. Autopsies didn’t show any clear signs of injuries.

They found out that the mother had a child with the same man who passed away in 2011. That baby’s parents didn’t keep him and someone else is taking care of him now.
