OCEAN CITY, Md. (AP) - Investigators found three tiny bodies wrapped in plastic and hidden at the home of a woman who was charged last week with killing her newborn child, police said Monday.

None of the bodies was full-term, and only one of the four deaths was recent, said Ocean City Police spokesman Barry Neeb. "The rest could be a number of years old," he said.

Two of the bodies were found in a trunk in Christy Freeman's bedroom, and another was in a garbage bag found in a motor home parked in her driveway, police said. The remains were sent to the office of the chief medical examiner in Baltimore to determine the causes of their deaths, their ages and if all were related to Freeman.

Freeman, 37, came to authorities' attention on Thursday while she was hospitalized.

Medical personnel called police after determining she had been pregnant but could not account for the child.

1. Sounds like someone missed some serious mental illness

Sad for all involved.

2. And no one in her family noticed this going on? Pregnant one day,

not the next?

5. How incredibly tragic. She must have been very ill for a long time.

It will be interesting to see how this story develops.

How long will it be before we treat the ill, body and mind, instead of shaming them?
