Calvert County, MD- 2 girls found in freezer, Renee Bowman arrested (Updated)

UPDATE TUES 9/30/08: I’m watching CNN now and they’re telling the story.  What a brave girl that escaped from that home through the window, and thank God…really…for neighbor Phillip Garrett who found this little girl walking alongside the road- bloody and beaten.  I am fighting tears as I type and think about how it must have felt for her to learn that her sisters were actually dead.  She just knew that she hadn’t seen them.  How crazy is that?!?

How the hell did this Renee woman move these 2 dead children being hidden in a chest freezer from her prior home in  Rockville out to Lusby, MD?  Why????

I hope this courageous little girl gets into a GREAT foster home and even better permanent adoption situation.

I’m sure there’s more to this story that will unfold…

Maryland is my home state so this news naturally caught my attention.

How odd is this story?  I cannot relate in the least to what must go through the minds of psychopaths like this when they do this kind of crazy shit.

I’m still searching for more details, but there’s not a lot of info out there right now other than the below press release from Associated Press.

LUSBY, Md – Calvert County sheriff’s deputies have discovered the bodies of two small children in a freezer in a Lusby home.

Authorities say they found them Saturday as they were investigating a report of an injured child. A woman who says the girls were her adopted daughters has been arrested, according to The Washington Post. Forty-three-year-old Renee Bowman told deputies that the remains had been frozen since at least February.

The sheriff’s office says a third girl was found by investigators Saturday after escaping from a locked bedroom by jumping out the window. Officials say Bowman told investigators she beat the 7-year-old.

She is charged with child abuse in connection with that girl. Bowman has been ordered held without bond.
