The body of a female child was recovered Tuesday night from the Verdigris River as police in Tulsa, Oklahoma, search for 2 siblings who have been missing since Friday.

"From all indications, the mother did not know where they were and certainly didn't try to help in locating these children," Tulsa police chief Wendell Franklin said at a news conference.It's believed that the last person who saw Miracle and Tony was Willis. Surveillance video from around 8:30 a.m. Friday shows the children walking through a convenience store.A few hours later, around 10:15 a.m., another video shows the kids walking alone through their apartment complex.

They were alone and only wearing diapers, Franklin said at a news conference on Tuesday. The children are then seen on the video holding hands and walking down a set of stairs to the water.Willis does not have custody of the children, who were in the care of their aunt. The chief said the mother"should not have had these children."

She has since been arrested and faces charges of child neglect and assault and battery of a police officer, according to NBC affiliate

Heartbreaking. Those beautiful little angels. 💔

Tragic, horrible and so very sad. What hits me the hardest is the last video of the children shows they are only wearing diapers. Unbearably sad.
