Four arrested in deaths of two young girls on Colorado farm

NORWOOD – Four people have been arrested in the deaths of two girls found on a farm in a rural southwestern Colorado and authorities are looking for a fifth suspect.

The San Miguel Sheriff’s Office says the bodies of the girls, who were between the ages of 5 and 10, were found Friday on a farm outside Norwood, about 30 miles west of the ski resort town of Telluride. Sheriff’s spokeswoman Susan Lilly says investigators believe they were dead for at least two weeks.

The four suspects – a man from Norwood and two women and a man from Haiti and Jamaica who recently moved to the area, are being held on suspicion of murder and child abuse charges.

The last murder in the county was in 1995.
