‘House Of Horrors’: Woman, Boyfriend Arrested After Abandoned Children Found Living With Skeleton Of Sibling

Earlier this week, three underage teens were found abandoned in an apartment that contained the skeletal remains of their 8-year-old sibling.

Described as a “house of horrors” by the Daily Beast, the children had been surviving “in part thanks to a neighbor who brought them food and charged their cellphone after the home’s power was recently cut off.” This neighbor had been helping the kids – aged 7, 10, and 15 – for a couple of weeks after the 15-year-old boy said his parents had left months earlier, according to police.

One of the surviving children said their sibling, identified as Kendrick Lee, had been dead for a year and that his body remained in the home during that time, decomposing.

In the charging documents against Williams, deputies wrote that she helped “alter, destroy, and conceal” the child’s body “with intent to impair its availability as evidence in any subsequent investigation of and official proceeding related to the aforesaid offense.”

The two younger surviving kids “appeared malnourished and showed signs of physical injury,” police wrote in their complaint against the mother and her boyfriend.

“It is believed the parents have not [lived] in the unit for several months,” deputies added.

Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Edison Toquica wrote in a statement posted to Twitter: “Glad we have arrested the two responsible for the death of this innocent child, and the abuse of the other children.”
