So she had two babies she didn't want (don't give me that maybe they were still born and she didn't know what to do crap) then died at a young age. Tragic and spooky at the same time.

Mabiki (間引き) will not stop just because it has been made illegal - and it happens in all countries and at all socioeconomic levels. Yes, sad, but quite natural for humans.
Do the hustle
Yep! Put the wrong garbage out on the wrong day and everybody knows. Mysteriously become un-pregnant and nobody notices.

What I'd like to know is, couldn't anyone smell the decaying bodies? Either if that couple couldn't, this is a very tragic and sad story. Sad for this couple to find 2 grandchildren they never knew about, never knew - and never will.
