TOLEDO, Ohio – Human remains found in the rafters of a garage are likely that of a toddler last seen about three months ago inside a house on the same property, police said Friday. Investigators said they found the remains Thursday inside a box that was behind other containers and piles of trash in the detached garage. An autopsy conducted Friday was inconclusive, and DNA tests will be needed to determine if the remains are of 19-month-old Elaina Steinfurth, a county coroner said. Investigators, though, were confident that what they feared was true. "We found what we believe may be baby Elaina," said Toledo Police Chief Derrick Diggs. The home and the garage where the box was located belong to the family of a man who had been dating the girl’s mother. Both the mother, Angela Steinfurth, and her now-estranged boyfriend, Steven King II, are in jail and accused of obstructing justice. No charges have been filed since the remains were discovered.
