Scorched earth is all that remained Saturday in a hidden, wooded area in southeast Houston where the bodies of two missing children were found, KPRC Local 2 reported.
“It was like diving into the depths of hell and straight up dealing with the devil,” Quanell X said.The community activist was instrumental in getting Randy Sylvester Sr., who is the children’s father and sole suspect, to reveal the location of the bodies of 3-year-old Denim and 7-year-old Randy Sylvester Jr.
After leading Pasadena police to two ponds, Sylvester led Quanell X to the final site off of Allendale Road near Old Galveston Road late Friday.
“Both children were partially incinerated,” Capt. Bud Corbett said. “One (was) in what appeared to be remains of a wooden chest and the other (was) in a suitcase.
“That unsettling discovery came after more than five days of searching for the missing children and after an incident where Sylvester threatened reporters, including a KPRC Local 2 crew.
Quanell X said he also noticed that Sylvester was combative at first. Despite that, he said he tried to give him the benefit of the doubt but that changed when Sylvester showed him what he called his “doghouse.
“The so-called “doghouse” is a separate apartment in the same complex where Sylvester spent time away from his wife, but where the children often visited.
According to Quanell X the apartment was filthy and filled with pornography.”At that moment, along with some other questions that detectives were asking, I knew in my heart that that brother was not innocent,” Quanell X said.
After repeatedly pleading with the father Quanell X said Sylvester finally opened up Friday.Instead of pointing investigators to the gruesome scene, Sylvester insisted that Quanell X join him and see it in person.”I don’t know how long I’ll be disturbed about (that), possibly the rest of my life,” Quanell X said, visibly shaken by the memory.
“When we were walking it was like he wanted me to see it.”

Sadly, I didn’t hear about this until yesterday as I was talking to some folks from church and they mentioned how the little boy and girl were found. God rest their souls.

This heinous crime will lead to the death of Randy Sr. I am deeply hurt to know that there are parents out there that can do this to their own children. We are living in hell. There is no stopping these horrific crimes. We have no warning “symptoms”. What hurts the most is that there is absolutely nothing we can do to prevent these demons from harming our children, Gods children.
