An Idaho woman has been charged with murder following the deaths of her 18-month-old twin children last year.
Andrea Shaw, 23, was indicted on two counts of first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of her sons, Tyson and Dallas.

The twins were discovered deceased in a shared bed on May 1 last year at a residence in Payette, Idaho.
Police responded to a report of a possibly deceased child and found both children unresponsive.
Authorities initially withheld the mother's identity while the medical examiner worked to determine the cause of death.
More than a year later, the official cause remains undisclosed to the public.
Days after the tragedy, Shaw and her husband appeared on a podcast produced by Children's Health Defense, an anti-vaccination organization.
Shaw claimed on the platform that vaccines killed her children.
She also revealed during the broadcast that authorities were treating her as a suspect.
Shaw stated that investigators told her they believed asphyxiation was the cause and that she may have acted during a postpartum blackout.
A fundraising campaign linked to the podcast alleged the twins had received routine vaccines at an 18-month checkup and died in their sleep days later.

The campaign raised over $10,000.
Shaw's defense attorney, Joseph Filicetti, claimed to Boise television station KTVB that the children died as a direct result of their recent vaccinations.
He did not provide medical or physical evidence to support the claim.
Shaw was taken into custody without incident in Boise on June 30. She is currently held on a $2 million bond.
According to court documents, the indictment alleges that Shaw suffocated her toddlers.
A civil lawsuit filed by Shaw against the American Academy of Pediatrics stated no alternative cause of death has been identified.
Payette police stated that because the case is now before the court, they will have no further comment.
Future information will come through the judicial process.
