Remains found in Oklahoma identified as missing 4-year-old girl

Remains found last week have been identified as those of a missing 4-year-old Oklahoma girl, authorities said Thursday.

Remains found last week have been identified as those of a missing 4-year-old Oklahoma girl, authorities said Thursday.

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation had initially been unable to confirm the remains, found Jan. 17 in rural Grady County, were those of Athena Brownfield and said a medical examiner would make the identification.

The bureau said Thursday that the Oklahoma Office of the Chief Medical Examiner positively identified the remains as Athena’s.

The bureau didn't provide any additional comment, citing a gag order filed in Caddo County District Court that prohibits law enforcement agencies from making public comments about the investigation.

Authorities and volunteers had been searching for Athena since Jan. 10, when a postal worker spotted her 5-year-old sister alone near the girls’ home in Cyril, the state bureau said. At that point they realized another child was missing, agency spokesperson Brook Arbeitman said.
