The story of two Pasadena, Texas children that went missing last weekend has come to a tragic ending.

Pasadena police recovered the bodies of two missing children shortly after midnight Friday.

Investigators believe the bodies are that of 7-year old Randy Sylvester, Jr. and his 3-year old sister Denim Sylvester who were last seen on Sunday afternoon.

Police say the children’s father, Randy Sylvester, led them to the wooded area near Highway 3 and Allendale where the burned remains were located.

An air and water search has turned up empty in the search for two missing Pasadena, Texas children who disappeared last week. Their father, Randy Sylvester, has been named a suspect but has not been charged.

Scores of volunteers turned out again today to help in the search, although the trail grew colder Wednesday as night fell on the third day since the disappearance of Denim Sylvester, 3, and her 7-year-old brother, Randy Sylvester Jr.

Early in the evening, police searched a retention pond where they had gotten a tip that something was dumped on Sunday afternoon, the same day the children vanished from an apartment complex a mile away. Police have said their father is a suspect, although he hasn’t been charged in connection with their disappearance.

A diver bobbed near the edge of the pond, dragging a rope tied to his ankle through the murky water, but came up with nothing more than a tire.

It was the latest in a series of dead ends that have frustrated searchers since Sunday.

A mother in Pasadena, California Texas pleaded through the media for her children’s safe return. Her son and daughter, ages 7 and 3, respectively, were reported missing Sunday afternoon.

“I want my kids back. I want my kids back. I just want to say, if you know where my kids are, return them to me,” said Jerilynn St. Cyr, struggling to control her emotions.

Aided by search dogs from the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office, police are scouring the area surrounding the Sandridge Apartment Homes at 4025 Burke Road.

Investigators have searched the separate apartments of the children’s parents, as well as their father’s car, but investigators say they have no reason to suspect foul play so far.
