If you live in the midwest, along interstate 80, you may be able to help Teri Knight find the bodies of her children, killed and buried in unmarked graves by her ex-husband 2 years ago.

Before committing suicide in jail, her ex-husband left these clues:

The children may be buried in an L shaped grave, somewhere between Pennsylvania and Iowa, off an I-80 exit in the Midwest, in tall grass. The site may be near a 6-foot-high metal fence, an old water pump, a yellow or tan commercial building, firewood, large slabs of concrete, five or six large trash-filled cement construction cylinders, a pile of white or gray rocks and willow-like trees.

If you think you may know where this site is, please contact Teri Knight.

From the wire service

On a July day in 2003, authorities say, Knight’s ex-husband shot and killed their daughter, Sarah, 14, and son, Philip, 11. Manuel Gehring told police in New Hampshire he wrapped his children in plastic and placed duct-tape crosses on their chests.

Then, he said, he dug a shallow grave for them somewhere along this concrete artery than runs through the heart of middle America.

Police drove Gehring along I-80 shortly after the murders to look for the L-shaped grave. But he couldn’t find it. Neither could law enforcement officers or dedicated volunteers who searched a 650-mile stretch from Pennsylvania to Ohio to Indiana to Illinois to Iowa _ the area where he’s believed to have buried the children.

Last week, just a few days after the two-year anniversary of her children’s disappearance, Knight came to look for herself.

Those general clues would be all he’d provide: Gehring, 44, committed suicide in jail in February 2004, while awaiting trial. At the time of the killings, Gehring had lost his accountant’s job and apparently feared he’d also lose custody of the kids to Knight, who had just remarried. They had divorced in 2001 after a 16-year marriage.
