I know we don't have much information so far, but does anyone have any kind of quick rundown on what's being done and what we know? I'm just jumping into this and it breaks my heart!
In roughly chronological order:
Cheryl Leverette gives birth to Chloie and to Gage
Chloie's father dies
Cheryl's mother Molli (or Molly; I've seen it spelled both ways) McClaran and her husband Leon McClaran take custody of Chloie and Gage
Gage was out of school sick on Friday 21 September
Chloie and Gage seen playing in the yard at approximately 6 pm Sunday 23 September
Fire reported at approximately 9:30 pm 23 September; house is completely engulfed in flames when fire department arrives and, due to the layout of the property and the remoteness, firefighters can only get one truck up to the house at a time
Sometime between Monday 24 September and Wednesday 26 September, fire investigators find the remains of Molli McClaren and Leon McClarin in the fire debris; they also find the body of the family dog and a pet bird
Fire investigators discover there were approximately 20-30 propane tanks in the basement of the home
University of Tennessee Anthropological Research Facility ("Body Farm") team called out to help search the fire debris for remains of the children. This team is very experienced and was called out to help search the debris of the World Trade Centers for remains. There are reports that a single tooth was found but no follow up information.
Statewide Amber Alert issued for Chloie and Gage as of Friday 29 September
Fire debris has been searched by at least three different teams by my informal account (local fire investigator's team, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation team and UT "Body Farm" team) with no remains of the children found.
Local firefighters saying anonymously that the fire burned so hot that they believe that there were no remains of the children to be found.
