LUSBY, Md. (AP) - Maryland police say they have found the bodies
of two children in a home freezer.

Calvert County authorities say they discovered the bodies Saturday while they were investigating a report of an injured child in Lusby, about 50 miles southeast of Washington, D.C.

Police say a 43-year-old woman who says the girls were her adopted daughters has been arrested.

Renee Bowman told deputies that the remains had been frozen since at least February.

The sheriff's office says investigators also found a 7-year-old
girl after she jumped out the window of a locked bedroom.

Investigators say Bowman told them she beat the girl.

She is charged with child abuse and is being held without bond.

No telephone listing was available for Bowman in Lusby.
