On Tuesday, Oklahoma authorities searching for a 4 year Athena Brownfield discovered the skeletal remains of a toddler, according to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.
According to a statement released by the organization, "At this time, the OSBI is not able to confirm that the remains are those of Athena Brownfield." The skeletal remains are going to be taken to the Medical Examiner's Office in Oklahoma City so that they can be positively identified.
The man and woman who had been providing Athena Brownfield with care have been arrested and charged in connection with Brownfield's disappearance.
The remains were discovered around sixty miles south of Oklahoma City in rural Grady County, in the vicinity of a community called Rush Springs. Athena's sister was found wandering around by herself earlier this month by a postal worker in Cyril, which is located approximately 25 miles away from Rush Springs.
After a week of searching for the girl, investigators stated on Monday that their search had transitioned into a "recovery operation" to locate her remains.
