The Associated Press

Police in Southern California say they are interviewing one of the three teenagers last seen in a home where charred human remains were found.

Hemet police said Wednesday that 17-year-old Felicia Sharp was brought in by her mother and is being questioned about the remains.

She and two other 17-year-olds were reported missing Nov. 17 and were last seen at the home where investigators found remains in the backyard. The other two teens are Adrian Rios and Jose Campos.

Police do not believe the teens ran away and have called the case suspicious.

Lt. Dean Evans says DNA testing to identify the remains could take several weeks to complete.
