Bodies found in shallow grave likely two missing women who texted from car's trunk Mar 26th 2012, 14:40 Two Detroit women who were abducted last month and may have fingered their captors by text-messaging relatives from inside the trunk of a car appear to have wound up dead in a shallow grave, according to authorities. Police believe two bodies found buried in the woods near Detroit may be those of 18-year-old Abreeya Brown and 22-year-old Ashley Conaway. The woman, who were housemates, were grabbed Feb. 28 from their front porch by two men who traded bullets with Brown's stepfather before getting away, according to relatives. In what may have been a final, frantic act, Conaway texted relatives an hour later, saying they were trapped in the trunk of a car. They were never seen again. "On the surface, they fit the description of the two missing ladies," Detroit Police Chief Ralph Godbee told reporters at the scene Sunday. "The families have been notified. We're going to be out here a long time." Friends, family and police had been searching for the pair until Sunday, when the bodies of two females matching their descriptions were found in the shallow graves along the Rouge River. Police were brought to the area after receiving a tip. Relatives said the women named their abductors in the text messages, and police have zeroed in on two men who have been named as persons of interest. One, Brian Christopher Lee, 24, was to appear Monday morning before Judge Roberta Archer on attempted murder charges from a Feb. 8 incident in which he allegedly shot and wounded Conaway. Lee, along with Brandon Cain, 26, Conaway's ex-boyfriend and a co-defendant in the Feb. 8 shooting, are persons of interest in the disappearance of the two women. "We should not lose our daughters to evil and nasty men," Latrina Conaway, mother of Ashley Conaway, told the Detroit News. "Two beautiful young women who never had the opportunity to grow, to have families, to have life. It's just a shame. Everyone should be touched by this traumatic thing. Family members believe the abductions were carried out to prevent the women from testifying about the earlier shooting. According to reports, Brown and Conaway had been offered $5,000 not to testify against Cain in the earlier incident. Cain and Lee are in custody but have not been formally accused in the women's disappearance. Click for more on this story from MyFoxDetroit.com
