MYSTERY surrounds the deaths of a mom and daughter who were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide.
Dawna Roe, 51, and her daughter and Gabrielle, 16, were reported missing after being last seen on June 30 in Payette County, Idaho.
Days later, the pair were found dead inside Dawna's 2004 Toyota van in a remote location on public land northwest of Drewsey, Oregon.
Deputies with Grant County and Harney County responded to a report of a van with two bodies inside it on Thursday afternoon.
The Grant County Sheriff's Office said, "no other individuals are being sought at this time."
Dawna and Gabrielle were last seen before heading out for a camping trip on June 30 before alarm was raised.
A missing person's flyer generated following their disappearance said there was "concern" for both their safety.
Drivers were asked to keep an eye out for Dawna's light blue Toyota Sienna van.
In their appeal for information, Caldwell Police Department said: "Family and friends do not know where they might have gone and camping is out of character for Dawna.
An update on July 7 said tips were being exhausted with no leads to the pair's whereabouts.
