FBI find two bodies in hunt for missing girls

AN FBI agent said the mystery of two Oregon girls who disappeared from their apartment complex appeared to be solved after officials searching a neighbour's home identified the body of one girl and found a set of remains.

Police said the unidentified second body was found in a barrel beneath a cement slab Ward Weaver poured after the disappearance of Miranda Gaddis and Ashley Pond, both 13.

"Obviously, this is a very sad conclusion to this investigation," said Charles Mathews, the FBI's special agent in charge in Oregon. "On the other hand, I think the case has been resolved."
