OCEAN CITY, Md. (AP) _ Investigators found three tiny bodies in and near the home of a woman who was charged last week with killing her newborn child, police said Monday.

None of the bodies was full-term, said Ocean City Police spokesman Barry Neeb. He said it would take testing to determine the causes of their deaths and if they were all related to Christy Freeman.

Freeman, 37, came to authorities' attention on Thursday while she was hospitalized. Medical personnel called police after determining she had been pregnant but could not account for the child.

After interviewing her, police searched Freeman's home and found the body of an infant wrapped in a blanket. Freeman was charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder and manslaughter under a 2005 law allowing charges for the death of a fetus that can live outside the womb.

Officers continued searching the home and property during the weekend and found the other three small bodies in the house and nearby, Neeb said.

Police said Freeman's four other children were safe and with her longtime boyfriend.

Freeman, owner of Classic Taxi in Ocean City, was to have a bond hearing later Monday.
