A dog walker tipped police to the discovery after seeing a head in a half buried suitcase while attempting to get a dog away from it.

Well, if they were cared for by family I'd think the police would know that there was a missing person's report made and could put 2 and 2 together. But since they are trying to identify them... it makes me wonder if it wasn't a stranger to the children that did this. Just awful. They were so young.

From your article:

“At this time, we don’t know how long the juveniles had been at this location. It was some time,’’ Cleveland Police Chief Dorothy Todd said Tuesday — describing one of the girls as having been between 8-and-a-half and 13 years old and the other ranging from 10 and a half to 14.

As suspected:

“We don’t know how long the juveniles had been at this location. It was some time, so it’s not just something that was recent.”

The girls have not been linked to any active missing persons cases in the area, the chief said.

The girls, believed to be between 8 and 14 years old, were found buried in shallow graves and neither has been identified.

Interestingly police were adamant that there was not a risk to the community, even through they have no clue who they are or who did it. How can the be adamant about that? Perhaps because family didn't report them missing and are adding the same 2 + 2 together that I did? Also...

Detectives are also checking with state and federal partners.

guessing the "no risk to the public" is related to the remains having been there for a while.

Was it "nobody noticed" or nobody said anything when they did? It's the same difference at some point. My guess is these two are going to be siblings. I'm local so I'll be keeping my eyes out for updates. If you move out of state and never enroll your kids in school... would anyone outside family notice? Probably not. I haven't seen the neighbors kids play outside in awhile but I wouldn't automatically assume they're missing, yknow?

This is east 162/Midland, per google images. I can't imagine that is where they were found but it does make me uneasy. It's not a wooded area behind this, there's a fence and another house. It's also extremely close to a school.

Moo... between 8 n 14. I was 12 never went to school after that age but my younger siblings did..school babysitter...so might be easier to identify the younger one..moo

No matching missing persons reports is so dang sad. I hope these poor girls can be identified soon.
