The bodies of two women were discovered in a shallow grave in Detroit following an intense search for two missing Michigan women.
Police believe the bodies may be those of 18-year-old Abreeya Brown and 22-year-old Ashley Conaway.
"On the surface, they fit the description of the two missing ladies ... The families have been notified," Chief Ralph Godbee told reporters at the scene Sunday. "We're going to be out here a long time."
Brown was abducted at gunpoint in late February along with her best friend and housemate, Conaway, in front of their home in Hamtramck, Mich.
The two had just returned from a restaurant when two men came after them. One of the men allegedly was Conaway's ex-boyfriend, 26-year-old Brandon Cain.
Relatives said one of the women was able to send text messages for a short time from inside the trunk of a vehicle, but the women had not been heard from since then.
No one has been charged in connection with the case.
Cain and 24-year-old Brian Lee were charged earlier this month with attempted murder for a shooting Feb. 8 that involved Brown and Conaway.
Relatives previously claimed Conaway had tried to end a relationship with a boyfriend several weeks earlier. They also told police that the boyfriend became angry and fired shots at the women.
Cain and Lee are in custody but have not been formally accused in the women's disappearance.
