Police said the girls’ bodies were found in a neighborhood on Monday, March 2, after a tip from a dog walker.

Cleveland Police Chief Dorothy Todd said Tuesday it was unclear how the girls died, but the bodies had been there for some time.

The police chief said the incident does not match any active missing persons cases in the area.

“We hope to find answers,” he said. “This is a terrible, tragic situation.”

Associated Press He reported that one of the girls was estimated to be 8-13 years old and the other was 10-14 years old.

A medical examiner’s office used preliminary DNA relationship testing to confirm that the two girls were half-sisters.

The office said more information will be released as it becomes available.
