A Massachusetts mother whose Boston apartment four babies were found in a freezer last November will not face criminal charges following an investigation, Suffolk District Attorney Kevin Hayden announced.
Through a press release, Hayden said he does not believe that a case against Alexis Aldamirnow 69, may be brought to trial due to several factors.
“This investigation, which is one of the most complex, unusual and perplexing this office has ever faced, is now complete. While we have some answers, there are many elements of this case that will likely never be answered,” he stated.
“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 hid her pregnancy or why he decided to do it,” the prosecutor added.
On November 17, 2022, police officers responded to a residence in South Boston after receiving a 911 call from Aldamir’s brother about a baby found in a freezer. His caller explained that he and his wife made the discovery while cleaning out the apartment where his sister once lived.
That day, two baby boys and two girls, all brothers, were found “frozen”authorities said. They were all discovered in shoe boxes wrapped in aluminum foil and with their umbilical cords tied. The two girls also had their placentas attached.
The medical examiner reported that there was no scientific method to determine how long the babies, who were described as full-term, had been frozen, according to the statement.
“The autopsy found no signs of internal or external trauma or evidence of obvious injuries,” the statement states. “There were no signs of food, milk or formula inside the babies’ stomachs.”
She hid her pregnancies with baggy clothes
Additionally, the medical examiner found the cause of death for all the babies to be “undetermined” and said they could not define whether the babies had been born alive.
Investigators later learned that Aldamir owned the apartment, which she occupied after moving with her family from Maryland to Amherst in 1971, when she was almost 17 years old.
Aldamir was located at a residential health care facility and was ordered by the court to provide a DNA sample, which revealed that she was the mother of the four babiesaccording to the researchers.
Authorities said Aldamir worked for an accounting firm in Boston from March 1980 to October 2021.
Her co-workers described her as “a large woman who had a penchant for wearing baggy clothing regardless of the season,” the statement states. “None of Aldamir’s co-workers knew that she was pregnant at any time”.
According to the statement, additional DNA testing conducted in June 2023 identified the likely father of the four babies as a man who died in 2011. Investigators said he and Aldamir also They shared a fifth child that they gave up for adoption.. They added that Aldamir had given birth to a girl in 1982 but they found no other birth records.
Authorities said that in late 2022, investigators visited the health center where Aldamir now lives and questioned her about the four babies found in her apartment.
“Throughout the interview, Aldamir seemed confused and demonstrated a lack of understanding as to where she was. and who he was talking to,” the statement states. “As a result, she was unable to provide investigators with any meaningful information.”
“To further evaluate Aldamir’s cognitive ability, investigators reviewed publicly available probate court records and spoke with an attorney. The information obtained clearly suggests that it is unlikely that Aldamir will be tried,” the statement added.
Because investigators were unable to prove a crime had been committed, no charges will be filed.
“In this case, researchers can’t prove the babies were ever alive and they have no cause or manner of death. Second, the autopsy found no signs of internal or external trauma on the babies or evidence of obvious injuries. Thirdly, since the father has already died, he cannot be accused of any crime.”
