DETROIT – The search continues for two young children after their mother's body was found on Detroit's west side.

The family of 27-year-old Alicia Fox is devastated after her badly decomposed body was found in an abandoned home on Penrod Street.

Fox's two children, 8-month-old Kristian and 6-year-old Kaylah, are missing. Detroit Police Chief James Craig said Kevin Hunter, Kaylah's father, filed a missing persons report for the three on June 6. Michigan State Police, who issue Amber Alerts, have not issued one for the children.
