Authorities say Rachel New is the mother of three children whose skeletal remains were found at a trailer park in Tarrant County.

A 36-year-old Tarrant County woman has been arrested for tampering with evidence in the case of skeletal remains found in a trailer park.
In August, the remains of two infants were found in a plastic box and a garbage bag at a trailer park in southern Tarrant County.
Today, Tarrant County Sheriff Dee Anderson says DNA evidence confirmed Rachel New was the mother of the children. Anderson also says she's also the mother of a baby whose remains were found in the same location in March, 2008.
New and her brother moved out of a trailer home they shared in the Rendon community for 3 1/2 years the day the second and third bodies were discovered, Anderson said.
At the time, the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's office was unable to determine the cause of death in the 2008 case, and criminal charges were never filed.
Sheriff's deputies found the bodies inside various containers around the property and underneath the mobile home.
New was arrested Thursday and charged with a felony count of tampering with evidence. She is being held on a $50,000 bond.
