Two weeks ago, two missing teenage girls were reported missing from their Mesa group home. On Wednesday, authorities announced their bodies have been discovered.

The bodies of Kamryn Meyers, 15 and Sitlalli Avelar, 17, were found a few yards from each other in a water retention basin near Superstition Springs Mall in Mesa over the weekend.

Officers were called to an area near Southern Avenue and the Roosevelt WCD Canal Road, just northwest of the mall, on Jan. 21 at around 6 p.m. after someone reported seeing a body in the water.

The girls had been living at a nearby group home and were reported as runaways on Jan. 7. That group home is operated by Powerhouse Youth Facility Inc., which is one of several that they own. It has been operating for 12 years, however that specific Mesa group home has only been open since last October.

The cause of death has not yet been determined, but police suspect foul play.

A full investigation is underway. No additional information has been released.

Anybody with information about the case was urged to call Mesa police at 480-644-2211.
