'Gloopity Glop'

Authorities found the remains of four dead infants and fetuses--all believed to be Christy Freeman's, mother of four teenagers and owner of a taxi company.

Two sets of remains were found in a chest in her living room, one in a motor home on her property and the last under a bathroom sink.

On July 26, paramedics arrived at Freeman's home after a 911 call, finding the woman bleeding heavily between her legs. Doctors found no fetus but discovered a 30-to 36-week-old placenta insider her womb 'with an irregular cut to the umbilical cord.'

Freeman later admitted she'd given birth in her apartment to what she said was 'gloopity glop,' a deformed and stillborn fetus.

Freeman said the remains found in the trunk were twins she gave birth to in 2004. She told police she gave birth to one twin while sitting on a toilet at hom: she waited for it to die in the water below.

As one stunned neighbor put it,

'Everyone's got skeletons in their closet, but not four in their backyard.'
