Mother Confesses To Killing Children; Bodies Found In Freezer at Family Home



Two children found dead in their mother’s Detroit home Tuesday might have died years ago.
Now the mother is in custody as police and neighbors look for answers about what happened.
Balloons fly at the home of a mother and her four children. A banner on the door served as a place for neighbors to leave their sympathies.
But beyond the door, a horror nobody can imagine.  Two children were found dead in a freezer.

Inside the home where the bodies of two children, aged approximately 11 and 14 years old, had been inside a Detroit freezer for more than a year Blair, who has two other children - 11-year-old son and a 17-year-old daughter - has not been charged and is said to be a person of interest in the police investigation.
Police were called in by the bailiffs after they discovered the girl's body in the chest freezer next to the front door. Her siblings corpse was found later.
Detroit Police Chief James Craig said the mother was taken into custody after an apartment resident informed officers she was staying with someone at a different home inside the complex, according to the Detroit News
Craig said the mother, who was handcuffed when the was taken into custody.
Neighbors say Blair and that she goes by Angel,WXYZ Detroit reported. 
Blair describes herself as 'Loyal to my babies' on her Facebook page. 
Blair posted a photo with a message in January

On January 30, the posted a photo with a message.
It read: 'There is no greater blessing than being called MOM.' 
Before she was taken into custody, the mother reportedly said her son was raped and that the sexual assault had been carried out by his siblings.
Police have not confirmed that is the case and it is unclear if she was talking about the boy who was found in the freezer. 
She filed a paternity suit in 1999 which resulted in a man being ordered to pay child support.
Blair filed another suit in 2007 against another man which had the same result.  
She had not been charged as of Tuesday evening. 
Her brother Marlon Blair said: 'It's too early to even say what this could be, or to make any judgments.
'She didn't have any emotional problems from what I'm aware of. I don't know what to say about this.'
Assistant Chief Steve Dolunt said it appeared the bodies had been in the freezer for 'over a year' and that the mother had been living in the apartment 'with other children while the bodies were in the freezer'. 
'This is a terrible situation,' he said. 
According to Craig, Blair has two other children, aged 11 and 17, who are unharmed and currently in 'protective custody'.
No weapons were discovered after the apartment was searched and police do not yet have a motive. 
Neighbor Shanetria Lanier, 21, said Blair home-schooled her children and 'that's why no schools were wondering where they were'.
There is no record of the children attending classes, according to a Detroit Public Schools official. 
People did notice that two of her children seemed to disappear about a year ago. 
Lanier said: 'When people asked her where her other two kids are, she said they were at their aunt's house.
'Or sometimes she'd tell people they stayed inside because they didn't like to be around people.'

Police said the bodies appeared to a male aged approximately 11 years old and a female who was approximately 14 years old. They were found inside a plastic bag and appeared to be 'frozen'
Residents of the Martin Luther King apartments reported the frozen boy, age 11 named Steven, and his sister, 14-year-old Stoney, were found after a bailiff served an eviction notice.
“Since she kept to the house all the time, we just thought, like, oh, they’re just in the house, chilling. That’s where they be. Or they’re at the store, or at their aunties or grandma’s,” a neighbor said.
At their grandmother’s house or aunt’s house is what police sources say the mother might have used as an excuse as to where the dead children were when neighborhood kids asked to play.
Sources also said  the mother, identified as Michelle Angela Blair, called “Angel” by her friends, has confessed to killing her children, then put them in her freezer, the boy in May 2012 and the girl nine months later.
Sources said the mother killed the two children after she said she found them sexually abusing the youngest boy. A woman knew of family abuse.
“I’m like, ‘Angel, why won’t you give the kids to me?’ She like, ‘Tori?’ I’m, like, ‘Why not just give them to me, we could have figured out something?’ She was, like, “they were raping my son, they were raping my son,” said Tori Childs, a neighbor.
Police sources close to the investigation said the bodies, which are thawing out in the medical examiner’s office, are showing signs of torture.
