The mother of the four babies found frozen solid in a Southie apartment freezer will not face criminal charges, according to the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office.

Alexis Aldamir, 69 — who now lives in a residential healthcare facility — would be “unlikely” to stand trial for the frozen babies case, the Suffolk DA’s Office announced on Tuesday.

“To further assess Aldamir’s cognitive ability, investigators reviewed publicly available probate court records and spoke with a lawyer for Aldemir. The information obtained suggests strongly that Aldamir would be unlikely to stand trial,” the DA’s office wrote in the announcement.

There are also many unanswered questions about the cause of death of the four babies — who were found in shoe boxes wrapped in tin foil inside a freezer at 838 East Broadway in South Boston, back in November 2022.

“This investigation, which is one of the most complex, unusual and perplexing that this office has ever encountered, is now complete,” Suffolk DA Kevin Hayden said in a statement. “While we have some answers, there are many elements of this case that will likely never be answered.

“We will never know exactly where or when the four babies found in Alexis Aldamir’s apartment were born,” he added. “We will never know if the four babies were born alive, and we will never know exactly what happened to them. We will never know how Alexis Aldamir concealed her pregnancies, or why she chose to do so.”

All of the babies were full term, which means they were determined to be between 37 and 40 weeks of gestational age. All four had their umbilical cords attached, and the two females had their placentas attached.

DNA tests concluded that the babies were full siblings.

The autopsy found no signs of internal or external trauma and no evidence of obvious injuries. There were no signs of food, or milk, or formula inside the babies’ stomachs.

The medical examiner found the cause of death for all the babies to be “undetermined.”

The medical examiner’s office also reported that it could not definitively determine whether the babies had been born alive.

Investigators determined that the apartment was owned and occupied by Aldamir. Records show that Aldamir likely started living in the apartment as early as April 1982.

Investigators eventually learned who the likely father of the babies was, and that he had died in 2011.

In total, Aldamir had five children with that same man. They gave one of their children up for adoption, and the other four were found in Aldamir’s apartment in November 2022.

“… To charge any homicide, there must be evidence that the victims were alive,” the DA’s Office wrote. “There must also be a cause of death determined by the medical examiner. In this case, investigators cannot prove that the babies were ever alive and they have no cause or manner of death.

“Second, the autopsy found no signs of internal or external trauma to the babies and no evidence of obvious injuries,” the DA’s Office added. “Third, as the father is now deceased, he cannot not be charged with any crimes.”

In late 2022, investigators visited the healthcare facility where Aldamir now lives. They questioned her about the babies found in her apartment.

“Throughout the interview Aldamir appeared confused and demonstrated a lack of understanding about where she was and who she was speaking to,” the DA’s Office wrote. “As a result, she was unable to provide investigators with any significant information.”
