Authorities in Jasper County, Indiana are awaiting the coroner’s office findings to make an arrest after suspected human remains were unearthed from a Wheatfield property backyard.
Cadaver dogs found bone fragments at three locations on the property Monday two weeks after police learned of a former tenant’s chilling confession.
The suspect allegedly told acquaintances that they killed their two undocumented children and burned their bodies in a fire pit at the Wheatfield property.
Police have located the suspect at a Newton County hotel with an undocumented child who had since been taken into protective custody.
The suspect denied confessing to the macabre killings but information obtained from their phone led detectives to the rental property.
The coroner’s office said that it could take weeks to confirm the bones were human.
