The Suffolk County, Mass., district attorney called the case “one of the most complex, unusual and perplexing that this office has ever encountered.”
No charges will be filed against a 69-year-old woman after the bodies of four frozen infants were found in a Boston apartment freezer in 2022, the Suffolk County district attorney announced this week.
District Attorney Kevin Hayden called the investigation into the circumstances of the grim discovery on Nov. 17, 2022, “one of the most complex, unusual and perplexing that this office has ever encountered.”
Investigators don’t know whether the four babies were born alive, which in part led to the decision not to bring criminal charges, Hayden said in a statement Tuesday.
The babies were found in a freezer in an apartment in South Boston after a man called police and said his wife found them while she was cleaning out the apartment of the man’s sister, the district attorney’s office said.

Social stigmas around sex and relationships result in a lot of tragedies. I don’t want to assume what happened here, but one can start putting a story together based on the one child they gave away for adoption, and not putting the father’s name on the birth certificate.
That said, I think having access to abortion is a necessity in any society with complex social dynamics. For whatever reason, adoption was not an option for the other four babies that were born. I am not sure why, but one can assume this lady carried out home births and that’s equally tragic and horrific.
What a fucked up story that is. Somebody call Robert Stack.
