Remains found on the Crow Reservation in Montana appear to be those of a young family that went missing in December 2008.
Authorities wouldn't confirm the identities of the bodies but a family member was "certain" they were of Teddy Little Light, 30; his wife, Juliet Toineeta Little Light, 28; and their 3-month-old son, Wyatt. "Now it’s finding out what happened. Why were they out there?," Juliet’s aunt, April Toineeta, told The Billings Gazette.
A ranch hand came upon the remains of two adults yesterday. It appears some animals got to the bodies.
The remains of an infant weren't immediately located. Children's clothing, however, was found scattered in the area.
