An Oklahoma couple is facing felony charges after Seminole Police investigated a report of a dead child late Tuesday night, then found burned remains near a highway.
According to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, the investigation led detectives to the home of Chad Jennings, 32, and Katherine Penner, 31. The home, located in Seminole, Oklahoma, was deemed a crime scene and police arrested them with help from the Seminole County Sheriff's Office.
"It’s just, it’s tragic," OSBI spokesperson Brook Arbeitman said, according to local KFOR. "Any homicide is obviously tragic. But when a child is murdered, it’s just really hard. It’s just tragic."
OSBI was called in by the Seminole police to help with processing the crime scenes.
