Because of limited lighting, a more extensive search was pushed to the following day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police and personnel from the Shelby County Medical Examiner\u2019s Office returned on March 9, and investigators searched the area again on March 10 with the help of Shelby County Search and Rescue. During that search, cadaver dogs alerted to a nearby drainage pipe, suggesting more remains could be present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investigators inspected the drainage system with a camera on March 16 but found no additional remains at that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On April 1, investigators entered the drainage system from another access point and found what appeared to be another skull. A coordinated canvass the next day led to the recovery of 14 more bones consistent with human remains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the remains recovered and a preliminary analysis by the medical examiner\u2019s office, investigators believe the remains are those of three children between the ages of 3 and 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJust based on the information that we are getting from the Medical Examiner\u2019s Office and anthropologists and the scientists that are working with us, we are thinking a few years,\u201d Davis said when asked how long the remains may have been there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police said investigators believe the children were not previously reported missing in the Memphis area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe plan to be here until we feel like we have covered every square inch of this area that could potentially be part of this crime scene,\u201d Davis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said only bone fragments have been found so far. The children have not been identified, and investigators are still trying to determine the circumstances of their deaths.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Human remains believed to be those of three children have been found in southeast Memphis, according to police, who are now searching the area for additional evidence.
