July 30, 2004 State St. Cloud Times 3B Coroner: No evidence of foul play in infants' deaths MINNEAPOLIS (AP) There is no evidence of foul play in the deaths of three infants whose skeletal remains were found in locked trunks in 2003, the Anoka County Coroner's office ruled Thursday. The remains were found by Kathleen Manning, of Coon Rapids, in trunks she had inherited from her mother, Cheri Herzog, who died in 1999. Herzog's personal effects went into storage for four years until Manning began going through them last August. According to the Anoka County coroner, the infants included two boys and one girl.

The infants were at full term or almostfull term when they died, and their deaths probably occurred in the 1960s, the statement said. The statement did not say whether the babies were Herzog's.

Manning had told investigators she didn't know of her mother being pregnant during that time. A message left at Michael and Kathleen Manning's house in Coon Rapids wasn't immediately returned.

Anoka County Coroner Janis Amatuzio didn't immediately respond to written questions left with a secretary. The statement released Thursday said there was a family history of hemolytic disease of the newborn, which can cause death. "Although the exact cause of death cannot be determined, with the history of hemolytic disease of the newborn and extensive investigation of all the circumstances, it is felt the manner of death is probably natural," the statement said.
