Bodies Of Missing Tots Found

<LI>Discovered In Sewage Reservoir Near Their Home
<LI>Brother, Sister Were Last Seen Saturday

Apr 25, 2005 7:00 pm US/Eastern
WARRENTON, GA (CBS) Authorities say the bodies of two missing Georgia toddlers have been found in an algae-covered sewage reservoir a few hundred yards from their home.

Two-year-old Nicole Payne and her three-year-old brother Jonah had been missing since Saturday. Investigators say it is unclear whether the youngsters were the victims of foul play, or whether they had wandered off from their home.

John Bankhead, a spokesman for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, said the bodies were found just after noon in the pond, where sewage from the city is deposited. Bankhead said the pond is constantly covered with a thick algae film, making it almost impossible to see the toddlers' bodies.

In fact, Bankhead said investigators surveyed the reservoir Saturday, after the toddlers' disappearance, but they were not detected. Monday, "law enforcement saw a bump in the algae, and it was the body of the young girl," Bankhead said. Her brother's body was under the filmy green scum nearby.

The pond is part of the city's sanitation system. It is surrounded by a fence, but has several holes where a child could easily get through.

Bankhead said investigators have found no trace of foul play, but are continuing to examine the pond area for signs. Bankhead says autopsies will be performed tomorrow.

The parents are described as "broken up" over the news. The children's father identified their bodies from photographs, Bankhead said.

Authorities had said the girl needed a breathing machine on a daily basis, and that her brother was on medication for an unspecified condition.

Police Chief Jim McClain said the toddlers had a history of wandering off from their home. In fact, the girl had unlocked a door earlier Saturday.

The sewage pond is accessible from the home â according to Bankhead, "a road goes back behind the house and winds up down at the pond."

Warren County Sheriff Joe Peebles said the search has included the use of heat-seeking devices at night. Between 75 and 100 law enforcement officers were expected to be involved in the search Monday, along with divers searching a nearby lake.

The children's mother, Lottie Kain, said she discovered that the children were missing Saturday.

On Sunday, agents from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation questioned Kain. Authorities said more than one person was given a polygraph test. They would not comment on the tests.

"She said she came to the door and the front door was open," Warrenton Police Chief Jim McClain said. "The gate was open. She came outside and the children were gone."

Jay Jones, an attorney from Thomson, said the children's parents are engaged and live together. The parents attended a news conference Monday but did not make a statement.

While investigators questioned Kain, nearly 200 others kept up the search for the children. Neighbors say they are heartbroken, reports CBS Affiliate WRDW-TV in Augusta, Ga.

"I just can't imagine being the parent who's lost a 2- and 3-year-old," said Tami May, who had been helping with the search.

That's not cool. Don't assume the parents did not look just because the story didn't mention their exhaustive search. Come on. For now, let's keep a little faith and assume the parents innocent in this tragedy.

as stated....Police Chief Jim McClain said the toddlers had a history of wandering off from their home. In fact, the girl had unlocked a door earlier Saturday...

If that were the case wouldn't it make sense as a parent to take extra precautions of sercuring your home to keep you children from doing this?

also as per CNN

Warrenton Police Chief Jim McClain said Kain called 911 shortly before 6 p.m. Saturday and reported that the toddlers had disappeared from their home in Warrenton when she went to the bathroom for a few minutes.

Search teams -- both law enforcement and volunteer -- worked all night Saturday and most of Sunday before fatigue set in, and officials called a timeout. The search resumed Monday morning.

Georgia Bureau of Investigation officials told The Augusta Chronicle that they have not seen evidence to indicate anyone abducted the children. But Payne, Kain's fiance, told the paper he believed someone took them.

So i would still have to say this seems shady....not neccessarily the parents....but something seems really weird about it...

You're right. It was only the same day. Probably not the first time. The girl is what, 2? She's probably been unlocking doors for at least a year already.
Shame on the husband for not immediately rushing out to the hardward store to buy hammer and nails and bolt them all in.

Also, your quote about an unlocked door says nothing about whether or not the parents searched for the kids. You clearly have assumed the parents to be guilty. I'm not saying they are either, but that story proves nothing.

Of course we looked! Imagine my wife's embarassment if the humane society called about a dog matching Marley's discription and an ass full of semen!
