Their mother, Deborah Gedzius, is investigated for their deaths and the death of the last three children’s father. The first four babies all died at one year or younger, and the cause of death was listed as SIDS. The fifth child died at two years old, and the sixth at two months old, both from respiratory issues “pending further studies.” Early investigations led to no information about the death of the children, but experts began to conclude that these deaths must involve foul play.

1:07:50Copy video clip URL Special continues. They reference a different case of a mother convicted of killing her nine children in Connecticut. Marin questions why so many children had to die before an investigation could conclude that the children were murdered.

In light of the new murder, they return to investigating the deaths of the children, and whether or not it would be possible for there to be six SIDS deaths in one family.
