A second set of remains found near Siloam Springs over the weekend have been identified as RoseMarry Davidson, the 22-month-old who disappeared with her mother around Veterans Day.
The Arkansas State Crime Lab confirmed the identification Thursday, according to a Benton County Sheriff's Office news release. The lab confirmed Tuesday the first set of remains found Saturday were those of Carol Elaine Davidson, 35, of Siloam Springs, according to another Sheriff's Office news release.
The bodies were found near Lookout Tower Road, roughly 12 miles southeast of Siloam Springs, according to the Sheriff's Office. The area is roughly a mile and a half from where search teams found Davidson's vehicle in November, Benton County Chief Deputy Meyer Gilbert said Sunday.
A deer hunter found the first body Saturday evening, Sgt. Shannon Jenkins said Saturday. Jenkins is the spokeswoman for the Sheriff's Office.
Roughly 50 people searched the area until dark Saturday before returning Sunday morning, Gilbert said.
Davidson and RoseMarry were last seen at a Siloam Springs recreational park. Davidson's 1999 Dodge Caravan was found a few days later near 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.
