TEXARKANA (AP) — Northeast Texas investigators now say they suspect a mother and her two children may have been dead before flames consumed their house west of Texarkana. Bowie County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Larry Parker would not say what wounds, if any, were found on the bodies of Amanda Doss, 34, Guinevere Doss, 11 and Texas Johnson, 8.
Sheriff James Prince says the grandparents of the children got to the burning house early Wednesday morning before authorities and pulled the three from the burning house, but they had died. The grandparents suffered burns and are receiving treatment at a Dallas hospital. The house was about 10 miles west of Texarkana.
