alt_edMOTHER’S LOVE TURNS CHILDREN INTO ICY CORPSES!
September 30th 2008 11:39
Lusby, MD - Renee Bowman, 43, had three daughters, all adopted. Now she has one daughter and two frozen corpses. And if you ask me, I think she was hoping to go 3-for-3 on the corpses. Bowman’s youngest child, a seven year old girl, was found horribly abused on Friday night after she jumped from a window in the home while Bowman was away. On Saturday, police found the remains of the girl’s older sisters, ages nine and eleven, in the basement freezer.
On Friday night, the little 7-year-old managed to escape her nightmare of Mommy Hell when Bowman left the home and went to the District of Columbia. She had locked the child in a bedroom while she was gone, and the little girl managed to jump out a window. She was walking from door to door wearing nothing but a t-shirt soaked in blood and fecal matter when a neighbor saw the child, gave her some clothes, and called 911.
The little girl had been beaten so badly that she had “open sores and lesions on her buttocks and lower thighs”, according to the initial police report made Friday night. She had been choked with a rope or cord hard enough to leave the marks around her neck. The child also had multiple bruises to her lips and her hands. She told police that she jumped out the window to get away from her mother’s constant beatings.
Nobody was home when investigators first went to the home, so the seven-year-old was taken into Child Protective Services emergency custody. Sometime later, Renee Bowman turned up at the sheriff’s office and verified that she had locked her daughter in a bedroom so she could make the trip fifty miles north to D.C.
When Bowman was interviewed by deputies about her youngest daughter, she admitted beating the child with a “hard-heeled shoe”. Bowman told officers that sometimes she “just loses control” and that she knew that what she did was wrong. She said she was “out of control and needs help.” Yeah, that’s just great. But she didn’t think to mention her other two daughters.
Bowman was arrested at that time and held without bond pending arraignment. In the meantime, investigators got a search warrant for Bowman’s Lusby home.
While officers were going through the house, they found a large chest freezer in the basement and opened it - whether they had a tip that there were kids in the freezer, I don’t know yet. If they didn’t, they sure got a surprise. Two female children, aged approximately nine and eleven, were frozen solid inside the freezer. They appeared to have been in the freezer for some time, possibly months or years.
The freezer and its tragic contents have been taken to Baltimore for analysis by the Maryland Medical Examiner, and officials at that office say that autopsies could take while. See, you have to be careful with frozen bodies once they’re solid. If you thaw them too fast, they start to rapidly decompose and you can lose evidence. If you don’t thaw them at all, there’s a problem getting good soft tissue analysis. So it’s a delicate procedure, and apparently Bowman “encased” the girls in ice.
When asked “WTF?!” by traumatized investigators, Bowman was cool, giving what was essentially an “oh, yeah, THEM” type of response. She allowed as how the girls were her older two daughters, and calmly stated that she had frozen the girls before she moved to Lusby from Rockville, Maryland, in February. She has not offered a cause of death for her children or supplied a motive. But given what she did to her surviving little girl, I’m gonna put my money in the pool for death by strangulation secondary to child abuse.
Bowman’s youngest child, at least, was never enrolled in school in Calvert County. So for the last eight months she’s been at home with Mommie Dearest and the corpses of her two sisters. I’d suggest donations to a therapy fund for that kid. And here’s hoping she never has to see her adoptive mother again.
Note to CPS: I’m out of state, but I’ll take her. Hit me with an email. I know how to treat kids, and it does not involve ropes, cords, beatings with shoes, or freezing.
Renee Bowman remains in custody in the Calvert County Jail without bond. Currently, she is only charged with first-degree child abuse in the case of her youngest daughter, but prosecutors plan to add more charges as autopsy results become available. This case is still early in its investigation, so stay tuned for updates as they happen.

Yes it makes you wonder how a women like this was deemed 'fit' to adopt. I had always thought that the process was rather difficult, and that prospective parent's where highly scrutinised--- obviously, I was wrong!

I hope with all my heart that someone makes this bitch suffer even some of the pain those children must have gone through.

Cheryl, that's exactly what I said!! It's just plain ludicrous to think these poor kids were put up for adoption for whatever reasons, and their lives are ended so abruptly by a satanic individual...
Thank god we're not ticklish eh Ruby
