Authorities in Cleveland are working to identify two young half-sisters whose bodies were found buried inside suitcases on the city’s east side. The bodies were discovered Monday in the city’s Collinwood neighborhood. According to police, one of the girls is believed to be between 8 and 13 years old, and the other between 10 and 14 years old. Cleveland Police Chief Dorothy Todd said it wasn’t immediately clear how the girls died. Their bodies had been there for some time. The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office used preliminary DNA relationship testing to confirm that the two girls were half-sisters.
