The twins were taken by ambulance to a local hospital where they ultimately passed away.
“This morning about 7:45 the Tulare PD received a 911 call for a possible drowning of two infants. Officers were dispatched to the scene and immediately started rendering CPR,” said Sergeant Jon Hamlin of the Tulare Police Department.
According to the owner of the motel, Langdon checked in Wednesday night after discovering she and the babies were apparently homeless.
“The mother who was on scene was taken to the police department and questioned, and she’s now been charged with the homicide of both the children,” Hamlin added. source
The owner of the motel offered her a free room for the night.
Investigators are still looking into whether drugs or alcohol played a role in the deaths.
Police believe the boys were drowned inside in the motel room where they were staying.
“The pool here has been filled in, and they don’t have any pools in the back so my guess would be the bathtub,” Hamlin said.
Anyone with possible information on the deaths are asked to contact police at 911.
