Police Find No Sign of More Victims of Mom in Freezer Deaths

Montgomery County Police now say an extensive search of a home in Rockville has turned up no sign of any other murder victims.

Police were checking the former home of the mother who allegedly confessed to murdering her 9 and 11 year old adopted daughters and hiding their bodies in a chest freezer.

They noticed a patch of disturbed earth in the backyard and called in a dog trained to sniff out bodies, or places where bodies have been recently removed.

The dog sent out an ambivalent signal, so police brought in a tarp and more shovels and spent hours digging.

But Capt. Patty Walker, head of Montgomery County Police's Major Crimes Unit says all the digging turned up nothing but more dirt.

She also says that they've found no evidence inside the home of what happened to the little girls.

Authorities were tipped to the deaths of the girls after Bowman's only surviving daughter escaped out of the locked bedroom of the home where the family moved in Lusby in Calvert County in Southern Maryland. The 7-year-old allegedly told Calvert County Sheriff's deputies that her mother beat her two sisters to death.
