UPDATE: Persons found deceased in county forest confirmed to be missing Lincoln County teens
Hook made the grim announcement during a brief press conference Tuesday afternoon at the Oneida County Law Enforcement Center.
The deaths are being investigated jointly by the Oneida County sheriff's office, the Lincoln County sheriff's office, the Oneida County district attorney, the Lincoln County district attorney, and the Oneida County Medical Examiner's Department, she noted.
The bodies were located in a remote area in the Town of Enterprise, according to an updated press release issued coinciding with the press conference.
Authorities had been searching for the missing teens since they were reported missing on Sunday, April 16.
"We feel exposure played a factor in their deaths, but this will be determined upon completion of the investigation," authorities said in Tuesday's press release.
A full story will be published in the Friday edition of the River News.
