REDDING, Calif. (AP) Homicides detectives were investigating
Tuesday after authorities found two children dead inside a
commercial storage unit in Northern California.
Autopsies were planned for the 3-year-old girl and 6-year-old
boy, whose names were not released. No charges have been filed
in their deaths.
The investigation began with a call about a possible child abuse
case in the small town of Quincy, about 220 miles northeast of
San Francisco.
On Friday, authorities found a 9-year-old girl starved and
injured at a Quincy home, according to a news release from the
Plumas County Sheriff's Office. She was taken to a hospital for
care.
The child's name and medical condition were not available
Tuesday.
Sheriff's officials then arrested a 17-year-old boy and a 39-
year-old woman on suspicion of felony child abuse, torture and
mayhem. They remained jailed Tuesday on $1 million bail.
The hospitalized girl's relation to the two was not released.
The investigation led authorities to the Redding storage
facility where they found the bodies. Redding Police Lt. Pete
Brindley declined to say if the two children were killed in the
storage unit or elsewhere. No other details were released.
Redding is about 140 miles northwest of Quincy.
Meanwhile, south of San Francisco, authorities searched a home
in Salinas, where the teen and woman recently lived. They did
not say whether they found anything.
Social services had investigated the 39-year-old and her family
within the last year for general neglect, said Elliott Robinson,
director of social services for Monterey County.
Robinson's office filed the death reports for the two children
found in Redding. He declined to comment further.
Brindley said he expects more details to be released later
Tuesday.
