Charlotte, N.C. – Police officials released a statement, saying that the 63-year-old mom, later identified as Avaenta, has been arrested and is facing a slew of charges, including first-degree murder, kidnapping, child abuse, and others, after allegedly starving her two adoptive children to death. Reports reveal she had five adopted children in total.

The investigation unfolded when an unidentified witness called 911, expressing concern that they hadn’t seen their brother, BIake, in over five years and recalling he had a broken hand when last seen. Police subsequently discovered that another person from the family, her adopted daughter with special needs, Lndon, was also missing.

During initial interviews with investigators, the mother initially suggested her adopted son might have retreated to a Budhist temple due to his religious beliefs. However, during a subsequent search of the suspect’s residence, authorities reportedly found a barrel containing human remains identified as belonging to both a female and a male.

Further investigation revealed that the 63-year-old mother allegedly withheld food from her children and confined them to dark rooms, which investigators believe ultimately led to their deaths by starvation. The case remains under active investigation, and the accused is currently being held without bond.
