The investigation into a deadly Bedford County house fire takes an unexpected turn as the state fire marshal's office opens the door to the possibility the bodies of two young children believed to have been killed in the fire are not in the rubble. A statement from the fire marshal's office Wednesday afternoon says "based on extensive examination of the Bedford County scene by our office and MTSU's Forensic Anthropology Group, that there are no remains of the two children in the structure. The children's location at this time is unknown."
A Tennessee Highway Patrol helicopter outfitted with infrared cameras flew over the area Wednesday looking for unidentified heat signatures on the ground. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation joined the investigation Wednesday at the request of Bedford County's District Attorney. County officials have repeatedly said there is no evidence of foul play or any reason to believe the children were not in the home.
The bodies of the children's grandparents, Leon and Molly McClaran, were recovered Monday and sent to the state medical examiner's office for autopsy. The McClarans were raising their grandchildren, 7-year-old Daniel Gage and 9-year-old Chloie Pope. Relatives tell Fox 17 they believe the children were in the home with their grandparents when the fire broke out late Sunday. The home was fully involved when firefighters arrived and collapsed into the basement complicating the search for remains.
