Authorities in Oklahoma have recovered the body of a child while searching for missing Athena Brownfield.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) recovered the remains of a child in rural Grady County outside of Rush Springs, they said on Tuesday.
They have not confirmed if the remains found are those of Athena Brownfield, who has been missing since January 10.
The remains will be transported to the Medical Examiner's Office in Oklahoma City for positive identification, authorities said.
Athena was allegedly beaten to death on Christmas by one of her caregivers and buried near a fence where they used to live in Grady County near Rush Springs, newly-released court documents revealed earlier on Tuesday.
