The source added that they are believed to have died since late December. On December 29, federal agents responded to the call of a relative of the detainee who had been told that the whole family was with the flu, but had two days without hearing from them. Although agents say they conducted an exhaustive investigation they found nothing abnormal, it was until January 9 that federal agents contacted the local police to request reinforcements in the investigation.
The neighbors had also called the authorities because in recent weeks they had not seen the children.
