Suspect in slayings also charged with abusing survivor

The Calvert County woman suspected of killing her two adopted daughters and storing their remains in a freezer was indicted Monday on attempted murder charges for the alleged abuse of her surviving daughter, according to court records unsealed Wednesday.

Renee D. Bowman, 43, was being held on child abuse charges that the grand jury stepped up to attempted murder on Monday.

The new charge is related to the 8-year-old girl a neighbor found wandering the streets caked in mud and blood, records said.

When police investigated how the girl came to be alone in the street in a disheveled condition, they were led to Bowman, who reportedly told detectives she had killed her other adopted daughters and put them in a freezer.

A search of the Lusby home revealed the frozen bodies.

Police believe Bowman killed the girls while living in Rockville and carried their frozen bodies with her for more than a year.
