In the course of looking for Blake and London Deven, who disappeared from the same family years apart, skeletal human remains have been discovered, according to authorities.
The 17-year-old Blake Deven hasn’t been seen since 2022, according to the Fayatteville, North Carolina, police. The 27-year-old London Deven vanished four years ago, according to the authorities.
On Friday, the police in Fayatteville declared that detectives working on the enigmatic case had discovered some fragmented remains. According to sources, the FBI is also helping in the search for the two individuals, who were adopted as foster children by the same woman.
In relation to the matter, that woman has not been charged.
According to authorities, the human remains have been delivered to the office of the North Carolina Chief Medical Examiner. Authorities warned that the identification process can be inconclusive or take weeks or months.
The Deven family’s last known residence in Fayatteville was searched by officials last week, but the location of the skeletal remains was not disclosed by the police. According to authorities, the current residents of the house are fully assisting the investigation team.
While speaking with the boy’s biological family in a separate case, investigators by chance discovered information on the disappearances, according to the authorities.

According to authorities, Blake Deven’s relatives informed them they hadn’t seen him in years. Officers investigated that information and discovered another missing “relative,” London Deven.
These are peculiar cases of missing persons. The beginning of our investigation was not a 911 call. At a recent press conference, Fayettville Police Chief Kelley Braden stated, “Blake and London have been missing for years.”
Authorities declared both to be in danger.
“All these years I thought she didn’t want to see me. Now I find out she’s missing,” the mother stated. “You see it on the news and never think, ‘Oh, it’s going to happen to me.'”
The mother claimed it has been almost ten years since she last saw her daughter. When she was a young adolescent, she was placed in foster care due to claims of abuse, which her biological mother disputes.
Felicia Chandler, Blake Devin’s birth mother, told the station that she also lost custody of her child to foster care as a result of abuse charges, which she refutes.
“Somebody, please help me. Please help me,” the mother stated. “How can a child be missing for two years, or even a second?”
