Police to search Florida canal after bodies found in luggage

(CNN) -- Investigators will return Thursday for a more extensive search of a South Florida canal where the bodies of two children were found stuffed in luggage.
The remains of two African-American children -- a girl between 6 and 10 years old, and a boy believed to be 10 to 12 -- were found Wednesday about six hours and a half-mile apart in the canal that separates Delray Beach from Boca Raton.
The girl's body was found first, after a passerby alerted police to a duffel bag floating about midway across the canal; the boy's body turned up in a suitcase closer in as investigators combed the banks for evidence, said Sgt. Nicole Guerriero, a Delray Beach police spokeswoman.
"We're devastated, and someone is missing these children," Guerriero told reporters Wednesday evening. "Someone knows these children, and we need to know who these kids are."
