The two men, who are both from Oxon Hill, are suspected in the homicide of 29-year-old Kaya Dejuna Wilson.

Two sets of Va. remains ID'd

Skeletal remains found in Stafford County have been identified as a District woman who had been missing since summer 2006, and authorities suspect she might have been slain. Katherine Bryant was 33 years old when she was reported missing by family members. On Aug. 16, remains were found in a wooded area near the northbound Exit 140 ramp off of Interstate 95.

Also Thursday, remains found in Manassas were identified as those of a 51-year-old man, police said. On Sept. 14, landscape workers notified police that they had found human remains in a wooded area near the intersection of Dumfries Road and Manassas Mill Road. Manassas police said the remains are those of William Lewis Schaeffer Jr., of Manassas. There is no indication that Schaeffer's death was caused by a criminal act.
