"No trauma on the bodies. There is no indication any of them were even alive."

Assuming these babies were the woman's own children, unless this woman went through four complete pregnancies without seeking medical attention, there should be medical records to determine whether these babies were live births. The story does not give us that information, nor does it tell us whether these babies were the woman's own children.

But in response to your other point, there are ways to kill newborn babies without inflicting obvious trauma on the bodies. Starvation and poison come to mind.

I see now in the part of the story that was not in the part shown, that these babies did belong to the woman.

The info is below the fold and they are her children and apparently there was a 5th child surrendered for adoption.

So it’s very possible these infants were stillborn.

Steve, au contraire, the story indicates the babies were the woman’s own children.
