Authorities in Crawford County held a news conference Tuesday evening to discuss the investigation into the deaths of two people found in a burned-out home just outside of Deloit, but there was little new information released. Sioux City television station KTIV says that when firefighters from Deloit, Denison and Vail arrived on the scene early Monday afternoon, they found the main dwelling on the rural property and a pick up truck on fire. They later recovered two bodies from the scene.

The bodies were transported to the Iowa State Medical Examiner. Officials say the autopsies to determine the cause of death are complete, but they can’t release  the cause of death at this time, or the identities of the two who died, as both remain under investigation.

Authorities said they’re not ruling out foul play just yet, and are actively seeking the help of the surrounding community. They say that two white males were seen near the area of the fire in a newer, dark, extended cab pickup truck, and they believe those two males may have witness information regarding the fire that can help them understand what happened on that rural property.

If you have further information about the incident, or the men at the scene, call the Crawford County Sheriff’s Office at (712) 263-2146.
