Remains of three children found in Memphis

A gruesome discovery by a dog walker has launched a major forensic investigation in Tennessee.

Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn Davis stated that the remains do not appear to match any recent local missing persons reports, suggesting the children may have been brought to the area from elsewhere.

Investigators are working to determine the cause of death and the identities of the victims through DNA testing and dental records.

The community has been left shaken by the discovery, which occurred near a local church and elementary school.
