Jesus Dominguez and Corena Rose Minjarez were arrested last week on two counts each of first-degree murder and abuse of a corpse in the deaths of children Jesus Dominguez Jr. and Yesenia Dominguez, police in Pueblo said.
Investigators said they had not been aware that either was missing until last month after police made the grim discovery of Yesenia's body. Neither had been seen since the summer of 2018, when Jesus was 5 and Yesenia was 3, police said.
The elder Dominguez is their father and he is in a relationship with Minjarez, who is not related to the children, according to NBC affiliate KUSA of Denver. NBC News could not immediately verify the relationship between the suspects and the children.
