A starving, abused little girl in Southern Maryland made a daring escape from a second floor window. And when police went to investigate they found the bodies of two other girl's in the adoptive mother's freezer.
The little girl's ages 9 and 11 had been in Renee Bowman's freezer for over a year. The third little girl had been in Bowman's custody since February, but few of the neighbors knew of her existance. Washington DC social services had been paying the woman $2,600 a month to care for the children.
One neighbor had a brief glimpse of the girl a few months ago. "Coco had run into the garage and I was talking to her for at least 45 minutes, and then I noticed something move in the back seat," explained Phillip Garrett. "And she said, 'Oh, well that's my baby.'"
He is the one that found the little girl wandering the streets barely clothed and dirty. She remembered him and the dog, and told him the story.
"She looked sad, sad and abused and mentally exhausted," Garrett told FOX 5. "She told her that her mother had literally beaten her to death."
He took the girl to his home and fed her pizza while they waited to for the police. When Bowman came to claim the child police arrested her on abuse charges. They searched the home and found the two bodies in the freezer. Police believes that the girls were killed at the family's former home and moved in the freezer. Bowman admits she starved one of the girls to death and that the other one fell and hit her head. (Yeah, and I have fairy wings.)
Renee Bowman is being held without bond.
Didn't social service ever come to check on the children. They at least should have made a visit before placing the seven year old in the home. Didn't they notice that the two girls were missing.
