BENTONVILLE -- Authorities believe a pair of bodies found this weekend is a missing mother and her young daughter, according to a news release.
The Benton County Sheriff's Office issued a news release Tuesday that stated it had received confirmation that human remains found Saturday are those of Carol Elaine Davidson, 35, of Siloam Springs.
Positive identification on the second set of remains found Sunday is pending with further testing from the Arkansas Crime Laboratory, the release stated. It is highly probable those remains are those of 22-month-old RoseMarry Davidson, the release said.
No other findings of the autopsies will be released and an investigation is ongoing, the release stated.
The bodies were found near Lookout Tower Road near Siloam Springs, according to the sheriff's office. The area is roughly a mile and a half from where searchers found Davidson's missing vehicle in November, Chief Deputy Meyer Gilbert said.
Roughly 50 people searched the area until dark Saturday before returning Sunday morning, Gilbert said.
Davidson and RoseMarry were last seen on Veterans Day at a Siloam Springs recreational park. Davidson's 1999 Dodge Caravan was found a few days later around Lookout Tower Road, an isolated stretch running through the Lake Wedington section of the Ozark National Forest.
A baby bottle, a diaper bag, a box of keepsakes and documents and clothing for both people were inside, Siloam Springs police said.
The sheriff's office requests anyone with information regarding the deaths to call its criminal investigation division at 479-271-1008.
