Both WTOP and the Post have stories up on the findings of medical examiner in the case of the two girls who were found in the freezer in their mother's home in Calvert County in September. Both girls died from asphyxiation, according to the official report. The mother, Renee Bowman, previously told police that one of the girls died of starvation and the other died after a fall. She has not been charged in their deaths, though she is currently being held on child abuse charges related to a third daughter who is still living.

Montgomery County Police say they have tentatively identified the two bodies found in Renee Bowman's freezer as two of Bowman's adopted daughters. They also released this undated photo of Jasmine Nicole Bowman, who would now be 9, and Minnet Cecila Bowman, who would be 11. A family friend made the identification, though as the Post points out, it's not yet an official identification. Still, police don't expect to discover the bodies belonged to anyone else once the autopsies are completed.

The Post continues its tireless, grim updates of the Renee Bowman case, with the latest crediting three reporters in the byline and four other individuals as having contributed. New details: a lawyer who represented Bowman in a personal injury case between 2003 and 2005 describes her as being "not the same person" she was then. Bowman is apparently confused about what's going on, even though she told police one of her daughters died of starvation, while the other died from injuries sustained after a fall. Maryland medical examiners have not yet determined causes of death for the two bodies, believed to be those of Bowman's adopted daughters, that were found in a freezer inside her home in Calvert County, Md. With a case like this, you really have to hope that this woman had some sort of psychotic break and suddenly became totally nuts. Otherwise all you're left with is something far more sinister.

The Calvert County, Md. Sheriff's Department has arrested one Renee Bowman, 43, after discovering what appeared to be the bodies of two children in a freezer in Bowman's home over the weekend. Authorities went to the house responding to a report of child abuse, after neighbors found Bowman's 7-year-old adopted daughter alone outside the house, showing signs of abuse and neglect. When they searched the house, they found the remains, and Bowman allegedly told them that the bodies belonged to her two other adopted daughters, and that they had both been in the freezer since February. Bowman used to live in Rockville, in Montgomery County, but moved to Calvert County in February, so charges related to the bodies could ultimately be filed in Montgomery. Bowman is currently being held in Calvert County on charges of first-degree child abuse.
