This is a case that has the public torn. A fire breaks out in a farmhouse in rural Tennessee that levels it to the ground, two sets of remains are found, and two sets of remains are missing. Law enforcement says that everyone died in the fire, but the fire marshal disagrees.

 

Chloie Leverette and Christopher Gage Daniel were last seen on Sunday, September 23, 2012, in Bedford County, TN. At that time, Gage was 7 and was described as a white male with brown hair and hazel eyes, approximately 4 feet tall and weighing 75 pounds. Chloie was 9 and described as a white female with brown hair and blue eyes, 4 feet 8 inches tall, and weighing about 75 pounds.

 

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-TBI-FIND.
