KOKI reported that the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation has transitioned the case into a search for Athena Brownfield’s remains and they believe they will find the little girl’s body somewhere in Caddo County.

Adams, along with her husband were charged recently. The two children had been in Adams’ care for at least a year.

Four-year-old Athena, along with her 5-year-old sister, had been in the care of Alysia Adams. It was discovered that Athena was missing when a postal carrier found her older sister outside Adams’ home without adult supervision on Jan. 10, OSBI officials said in a news release.

Adams is facing two counts of child neglect, KOKI reported last week. Ivon Adams was arrested and accused of child neglect, The Associated Press reported.
