OSCEOLA, Iowa (AP) — Authorities in southern Iowa say that three missing teens have been found dead in rural Clarke County. Osceola police tell Des Moines television station KCCI that the bodies of 16-year-old Elaina Critz, 16-year-old Lauren Barker and 19-year-old Jesse Robinson — all of Osceola — were found Tuesday at the wreckage of a car that had run off a rural road and into a creek.

Authorities say the teens were found in a culvert by a road maintenance worker who happened to stop in the area. Police say Critz, Barker and Robinson were reported missing from Osceola sometime after 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
