2 children missing after fatal fire

(CNN) -- Authorities in Tennessee are asking for the public's help to find two children presumed missing after a fire destroyed their home.

The children -- identified as 9-year-old Chloie Leverette and 7-year-old Gage Daniel -- were last seen Sunday around 6:30 p.m., approximately three hours before their home burned down, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, or TBI.

They lived with their grandparents in Unionville, Tennessee.

"After an extensive five day search, multiple fire experts have processed the scene and are unable to locate evidence that Chloie and Gage were victims of the fire. The location of Chloie and Gage are unknown at this time," the TBI said.

Investigators recovered the bodies of the grandparents, according to Kristin Helm, a TBI spokeswoman, and feel fairly certain they would have found the children if they had been there. They have no theories as to the kids' whereabouts.

The TBI concluded its search of the home Friday, Helm said. She said the biological parents of the children have been contacted and are cooperating.

There was nothing to indicate Chloie and Gage were home at the time of the fire, the spokeswoman said. The cause of the blaze was not immediately clear. :huh:

Not picking on Tennessee, but they do seem to have a lot of this kind of stuff up there.
