DETROIT (AP) — Decomposed bodies found in Detroit are believed to be those of two missing suburban teens, and it appears both were shot.
That's according to an official close to the investigation who says autopsies and a dental review are expected Saturday.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press because the official wasn't authorized to discuss details of the case.
The official also said the bodies were dressed in undershirts and underwear.
Detroit police declined comment but said earlier that the bodies were of males and found Friday morning in a field.
The missing teens are 18-year-old Jacob Kudla and 17-year-old Jourdan Bobbish, both of Westland. Both were last seen Sunday night. Kudla's car was found the next day, with its sound system missing, on Detroit's west side.
