OCEAN CITY, Md. - Investigators found three tiny bodies wrapped in plastic at the home of a woman who was charged last week with killing her newborn child, police said Monday. Authorities were still searching the property, and there was a backhoe at the site Monday morning.

None of the bodies was full-term, and only the death that Christy Freeman had already been charged with was recent, said Ocean City Police spokesman Barry Neeb.

"The rest could be a number of years old," he said.

Two were found in bags along with what investigators believe to be a placenta 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 chief medical examiner in Baltimore to determine the causes of their deaths, their ages and if they were related to Freeman, 37.

Freeman, who has four other children, 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 newborn child.

After interviewing her, police searched Freeman's home and found the body of an infant wrapped in a blanket. Freeman was charged with murder and manslaughter under a 2005 law allowing charges for the death of a fetus that can live outside the womb.

Officers continued searching the home and property during the weekend and found the other tiny bodies, Neeb said.

Freeman lived on the second floor of the home with her boyfriend and her four other children, all of whom are safe, police said Monday. The building is less than a block off the Coastal Highway, the main north-south route in this resort town.

Freeman, owner of Classic Taxi in Ocean City, appeared in a Worcester County court Monday wearing shackles. The judge delayed her hearing until she had time to speak with an attorney.

Deputy State's Attorney Mike Farlow also sought a delay, telling Judge Daniel Mumford that Freeman was still being interviewed by investigators.

Maybe the pharmacist refused to sell her the morning after pill.

On a side note: I wonder if people will be as "outraged" by this, as they are with the Mike Vick indictment.

I doubt it, in todays society a dog/animal is more precious than a human life, sad but to some it's true. I will never forget the day I saw a car with 2 bumper stickers, one said "keep abortion safe and legal" the other said, "meat is murder go vegetarian". Regardless of your beliefs that is a contradiction.

Amazingly... I agree.

It's not a contradiction if your belief is that a few diploid cells in a uterus isn't a life.

Not true but if it makes you feel better to say so by all means.

The bodies found in her house were more than a few diploid cells. A diploid(zygote) is the direct result of fertilization and immediately undergoes cleavage so unless someone gets an abortion within minutes of fertilization then they miss the zygote stage. Try again. Morula is done by day 3. By the time the first period is missed the Septum primum stage has started, that is the development of the heart.

this c*nt should be fed to Ving Rhame's dogs, who in turn should be given to Vick to open up a dog fighting ultimate fighting arena, with internet access...

god, i feel like a loser... I actually head this story a few days ago on the Stern show when Robin was doing her news.

How sad is it that I am being informed by them on what is going on in the world!

I was referring to your bumper sticker comment, not the story about the fetuses. You're confusing the word "zygote" with the word "diploid". A zygote is a diploid (2-chromosome) cell, but the word diploid does not exclusively mean zygote. So if you want to get technical, yes the bodies in her house were a few (billion) diploid cells. Every cell in the body is, except sperm or unfertilized egg.
