Police: 4-6 girls' bodies may be buried in woods

MACOMB TOWNSHIP, MI (AP)--   Authorities believe up to half a dozen bodies of missing girls could be buried in a wooded area northeast of Detroit. 

Warren Police Commissioner Bill Dwyer tells WJBK-TV that officers are excavating Tuesday at the site in Macomb Township for the remains of 12-year-old Kimberly King, who last was seen in 1979.

Dwyer says "there's maybe four to six other girls that have been reported missing that are buried there" and that police "certainly are convinced we have the right area."

King lived in the Detroit suburb of Warren, as did 13-year-old Cindy Zarzycki who disappeared in 1986 after being lured to a Dairy Queen.

Arthur Ream led police to the area and Zarzycki's remains in 1986. Zarzycki had been dating Ream's son at the time of her disappearance.

Ream was convicted in her murder and is serving life in prison.
