A married woman who conceived several children with a lover killed at least four of her babies and hid them in cool boxes or buried in concrete in her home, it is claimed.
Michele Kalina, 44, from Pennsylvania, hid at least six pregnancies from her husband and her boyfriend, according to officials who have charged her with murder.
DNA tests show bones found in a locked cupboard came from five babies - at least four of them were born alive.
The boyfriend fathered three and possibly four of them. Tests on a fifth baby were inconclusive, a US court heard.
Kalina also bore a daughter from the same affair in 2003 but gave the baby up for adoption.
She and her husband Jeffrey have a 19-year-old daughter and had a 13-year-old son with cerebral palsy, who died in 2003.
The husband and daughter found the remains this summer in several cool boxes, one of which was filled with cement.
Kalina is said to have hid her pregnancies
Police said at least four of the babies were probably killed by asphyxia, poisoning or neglect.
"I'm very confident we have all the babies," District Attorney John T Adams told a news conference.
She is said to have told authorities she had been pregnant only twice, with her son and daughter, and had never had a stillbirth.
Jeffrey Kalina had suspected at least once that his wife was pregnant, police said.
The boyfriend, who has not been identified, said he did not know either.
But he said he noticed her abdomen growing after they began dating in 1996.
Kalina apparently told him she had cysts on her fallopian tubes that she had drained at a hospital.
The "cysts" returned several times over the years, according to the boyfriend.
Kalina is in custody, charged with criminal homicide, aggravated assault and related charges.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for this week.

This is horrendous - I just can't comment on this sort of behaviour - it's just too awful. Unless, of course, the previous child who had cerebral palsy has unhinged her mind - I am not able to comprehend why it happened.
