COGAN STATION, Pa. (AP) — Authorities say two women have been arrested in connection with the discovery of the bodies of two young girls missing for years who were buried in the backyard of a central Pennsylvania home. The (Williamsport) Sun-Gazette reports that the mother of the girls, 32-year-old Marie Snyder, and 26-year-old Echo Butler have been arrested on Lycoming County charges of child endangerment and obstruction. Authorities said the bodies of 6-year-old Nicole Snyder and 4-year-old Jasmine Snyder were found buried at the Hepburn Township residence. Authorities allege that the older girl was buried in 2016 and the younger one was buried in 2017. Court documents don’t list attorneys for the defendants.
