How did the four babies who were found dead in a freezer in Massachusetts last November die, and who was to blame? The investigation has closed and there are still no answers. What’s more, a resolution to the case seems unlikely, according to legal officials.
As reported by Suffolk County, Massachusetts District Attorney Kevin Hayden on Tuesday, April 30, Alexis Aldamir, the mother who was the owner of the Boston apartment where they were found, will not face criminal charges following an investigation.
On Nov. 17, 2022, police officers arrived at a residence in South Boston after receiving a 911 call from Aldamir’s brother about a baby found in a freezer, authorities said. The caller explained that he and his wife made the discovery while cleaning out the apartment where his sister once lived.
That day, two male babies and two female babies, all of whom were confirmed to be siblings, were found “frozen solid,” the authorities reported. All of them were discovered in shoe boxes wrapped in tin foil and had their umbilical cords attached, and the two females also had their placentas attached.
According to the autopsy report, the medical examiner found there was no scientific method to determine how long the babies, who were described as full term, had been frozen.
Reportedly, the medical examiner concluded that the cause of death for all of the babies to be “undetermined,” and said that they could not definitively ascertain whether or not they had been born alive.
Aldamir, 69, was tracked down to a residential facility and ordered by the court to provide a DNA sample, which revealed that she was the mother of all four babies, and the father was found to be a man who died in 2011. When questioned about what happened, Aldamir displayed a lack of an awareness of where she was or what was going on.
In a press release issued by Hayden on Tuesday, he said he doesn’t believe a case against Aldamir can be brought to trial due to several conditions.
“This investigation, which is one of the most complex, unusual and perplexing that this office has ever encountered, is now complete. While we have some answers, there are many elements of this case that will likely never be answered,” Hayden stated. “We will never know if the four babies were born alive, and we will never know exactly what happened to them. We will never know how Alexis Aldamir concealed her pregnancies, or why she chose to do so.”
