Everett, Wash. (KING) — Detectives have recovered the remains of a young girl who died at least four years ago and whose body was hidden in a plastic storage bin in an Everett, Washington home.

Detectives seized the storage tote when they served a warrant at a mobile home last Saturday.

On Sunday, detectives and the medical examiner’s office confirmed the container contained the body of a girl about four years old.

The child was later identified as Tianna Serena Marie Kirchner.

The sheriff’s office began investigating the girl’s disappearance after receiving information from a distant relative of the girl. During their investigation, detectives learned that the girl’s relatives believed she had died when she was four years old and while under the supervision of her mother.
