BLACKSTONE — Investigators found the remains of three infants inside a squalid, vermin-infested home here on Thursday, two weeks after child welfare officials removed four children from the same address to protect them from suspected abuse or neglect, authorities said.

 Detectives investigating a case of reckless endangerment of children found the bodies Thursday at the house in Blackstone, about 50 miles southwest of Boston on the Rhode Island border. Worcester District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr. told reporters near the condemned home at 23 St. Paul St. that the genders and ages of the deceased infants have not been determined, nor have the causes of their deaths. He said authorities don't know when or how the babies died, or their ages and genders. Nobody has been charged in connection to the deaths of three infants. Four other children, including a 6-month-old baby, were removed from the house last month after a neighbor notified police about their living conditions, Early said. When state welfare officials took custody of the children, the boy “was in the car of DCF and did not want to come out,” she said. Advertisement 
 
 Authorities would not say whether Murray is related to any of the children who had been living in the house. A woman identified as Erika Murray, a 31-year-old resident of the house, was arrested Thursday night and will be arraigned Friday on a witness intimidation charge, as well as additional unspecified charges stemming from living conditions in the residence, police and prosecutors said.

 Blackstone police said a suspect is in custody, and she has been charged in connection to the squalid condition of the home. We have flies, we have bugs. We have bugs. We have used diapers, in some areas, as much as a foot-and-a-half to two-feet high. “The house is in deplorable condition.” 
 
 He said police were first called to the residence, which is within walking distance of police and fire headquarters on the same street, about two weeks ago after a child living in the home told a neighbor that one of the other children had been crying. Advertisement 
 
 The crying child, who is 6 months old, was found covered in feces, Early said, leading the neighbor to call police. Marilynn Soucy, 68, who lives a few doors down from the house, said in a telephone interview she's still in shock at the news in the neighborhood where she has lived for 35 years. I can’t picture hurting a child.” 
 
 She said before Early’s briefing that she thought a woman and her boyfriend lived in the home with a girl and boy. She said she and her husband, Bob, had rarely seen the couple who lived in the house at least three years, or their children. She said they occasionally saw the 10-year-old, a boy, playing outside or the woman sit on her porch. Soucy said she never heard any major complaints about the couple, other than her grandkids noted once that the house "smelled." Soucy said the woman did not appear distressed and was “just walking normal.” 
 
 Investigators in protective body gear were seen on Thursday coming and going from the house, which was shielded by two blue tents set up in the street. Early said two weeks ago someone made a complaint to the Department of Children and Families, and four children were removed from the home -- a 6-month-old, a 3-year-old, a 10-year-old and a 13-year-old. “DCF has never had an open case with this family and learned about this situation through a 51A report,’’ which details suspected abuse or neglect of a child. Early said it's too soon to know if charges will be filed in the infants' deaths, or against whom, because investigators don't even know who was living at the home when they died.
– The bodies of three infants were found in a now-condemned, vermin-infested Massachusetts home yesterday, two weeks after the state removed four children from the place, the Boston Globe reports. "We do not have the genders of the infants yet, we don't have the manner and cause of death," District Attorney Joseph Early Jr. tells WCVB. He went on to describe a deplorable scene: "The house is filled with vermin. We have flies, we have bugs. We have used diapers, in some areas as much as a foot-and-a-half to 2 feet high." Several pets were also found dead. Resident Erika Murray, 31, will appear in court today on charges related to the condition of the house, but her connection to the children found living in the home hasn't been revealed. A rep for the Department of Children and Families says four children, ages 13, 10, 3, and 6 months, were taken from the Blackstone home after a call from a neighbor, who was told by one of the children that the baby wouldn't stop crying; the 6-month-old was found covered in feces, the AP reports. Authorities now "have to ascertain who was living in the house," Early says, noting investigators will be working at the home in hazmat suits for several days, searching for more remains. A neighbor says she believes a woman and her boyfriend lived at the home with two children, who sometimes played outside. "In seven years I've never even seen her pregnant," another neighbor adds. "I never even heard a baby cry."
