3 dead babies found

A woman who lived at a squalid, vermin-infested home where the bodies of three infants were found this week was arraigned Friday on charges including fetal death concealment and ordered held without bail as the search for more possible bodies continued.

Detectives investigating a case of reckless endangerment of children found the bodies at a house in Blackstone, about 50 miles southwest of Boston, littered with soiled diapers. Four other children had been removed from the home two weeks earlier.

Erika Murray, 31, was arrested Thursday night on charges including fetal death concealment, witness intimidation and permitting substantial injury to a child. Not guilty pleas were entered Friday on her behalf.

The children first came to the attention of police two weeks ago after a 10-year-old boy who lived in the house went to a neighbor's home and asked, "How do you get a baby to stop crying?" said Tim Connolly, a spokesman for Worcester District Attorney Joseph Early Jr.

The neighbor went with the boy and found the crying baby covered in feces.

Detectives found the body of an infant in a closet on Wednesday and the remains of what appeared to be two other newborns on Thursday, police said. The prosecutor's office said a medical examiner will determine whether they were newborns or fetuses.

Early said Friday that authorities had not ruled out the possibility that more bodies may be inside. The search of the home, a couple hundred feet from the town's police station, is expected to take several days.

The four other children, ages 13, 10, 3 and 6 months old, were removed from the house on Aug. 28, authorities said. They were placed in the custody of the state Department of Children and Families.

A man also was living in the house, but he has not been charged, Connolly said.

Investigators wore hazardous material suits as they worked Friday in the small house, which has been condemned by health officials. Police said skeletal remains of several animals, including cats and a dog, also were found inside.

Sick. People really need to be tested before having children, and seek help for this kind of stuff, although I'm sure that didn't cross daddy's mind. It's just a disgusting shame that people could ever do this to another human being.

Why do people like this have to exist?

Because it's against the law for me to go mow them all down with my AK-47.

You'll have to be extra sneaky then.

Wasn't only human remains they found:

Police said skeletal remains of several animals, including cats and a dog, also were found inside.

Sick and disgusting that people could do this and remain living in the house. This place HAD to stink to high heavens.
