No charges are being filed against a woman after the bodies of four babies were found in her Boston apartment freezer in 2022, a US district attorney announced this week. According to NBC News, Suffolk District Attorney Kevin Hayden called the investigation into the circumstances of the grim discovery in November 2022, “one of the most complex, unusual and perplexing that this office has ever encountered”. But he also added that he doesn’t believe a case against the woman, 69-year-old Alexis Aldamir, can be brought to trial due to several factors.
“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,” Mr Hayden said in a statement, as per the outlet.

“We will never know exactly where or when the four babies found in Alexis Aldamir’s apartment were born. 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,” he added.

The babies were discovered in a freezer in a South Boston apartment, according to NBC. The man who discovered them reported to police that his wife had discovered them while cleaning out the man’s sister’s apartment. Investigators said that the two male and two female babies were frozen solid inside foil-wrapped shoe boxes. The four babies were revealed to be siblings by the DNA tests, they continued.

The medical examiner could not determine the cause of death or whether the babies were born alive. They also reported that there was no scientific method to determine how long the babies – who were described as full-term – had been frozen.

Further DNA testing revealed that the babies’ most likely father was a man who passed away in 2011. Additionally, investigators discovered that the mother and the babies’ father had five children together, one of whom was placed for adoption. According to Mr. Hayden, there was only one birth record discovered.

The mother, who is in a medical facility, “appeared confused and demonstrated a lack of understanding about where she was and who she was speaking to,” the district attorney said when asked by investigators.

“We will never know if the four babies were born alive, and we will never know exactly what happened to them,” he added.
