BBC reports that the unnamed woman was arrested after officials found the dead children inside her freezer, their bodies wrapped in the same plastic bag.

2 of the woman's other children, aged 11 and 17, were found at a neighbour's home and placed in protective custody.

According to neighbour, Tori Childs, the two dead children hadn't been seen for about a year, while other neighbours said the 36-year-old mother was behind on her rent on her 3-bedroom apartment and was "going through some things".
