Idaho police say the two sets of remains found last week have been identified as those of two children missing since September.
The police said Saturday the remains of 17-year-old Tylee Ryan and 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow were found at the home of Chad Daybell who is married to Lori Vallow, the children’s mother.
“It is not the outcome we had hoped; to be able to find the children safe,” the Rexburg, Idaho, police department said in a statement.
Vallow and Daybell married late last year after the suspicious deaths of their previous spouses and after the children were last seen. The police say the couple refused to participate in the missing children investigation.
The newlyweds were found and arrested in Hawaii in February. They were extradited to Idaho, where they are facing multiple charges.
