(AP) EDGERTON, Mo. - Authorities in Platte County, Mo., say officials have found the bodies of two women in a field after officials interrogated "a suspect in the disappearance of Britny Haarup and Ashley Key."

The Kansas City Star reported late Sunday that the bodies were found near Trimble, Mo., in Clinton County. Platte County Sheriff's Capt. Erik Holland told the newspaper the bodies were those of white women but he could not immediately confirm the victims' identities or how they had died.

Holland said authorities "were led" to the area where the bodies were found by talking to the suspect in case, whom he did not identify.

"That individual is under arrest and in custody," he said.

Haarup, 19, and Key, 22, were reported missing Friday after Haarup's fiancé, Matt Meyers, came home to find his 6- and 18-month old daughters alone and in the same crib. Relatives of the women said there was blood on the couch in the Edgerton residence, located about 35 miles north of Kansas City.

"The truck was gone, the girls were gone and Matt has some personal guns that had been missing as well. That is all he had to tell me, and I knew something was wrong at that point," the mother of the missing women, Taresa Haarup, told KCTV.

The Platte County Sheriff's Department said Sunday that authorities were speaking with a person of interest in the case and have executed two search warrants.

The missing truck was found parked on a gravel road Saturday, prompting authorities to search the surrounding fields. Although there were no signs of foul play, the truck was towed to the Kansas City crime laboratory to check for evidence.

The sisters' father, Paul Haarup, begged for his daughters' safe return during a candlelight vigil Saturday night that drew a crowd of about 70 people.

"Whoever has them, give them a phone, have them call us, put an end to this," Haarup told KSHB.

Family members fear the sisters were abducted. They said Key, the mother of a 4-year-old girl, had been running with a bad crowd and sought her sister's help turning her life around.

"That's why she came to Britny and Matt's house; to get help, to get out of that lifestyle. She was very serious about getting help," Cassandra Meyers, sister-in-law of Matt Meyers, told KSHB.

Haarup's fiancé said his daughters need their mother back home.

floods in Japan : Relief teams work as residents return,

Japanese troops have been airlifting supplies to thousands of people

Residents of Japan's flood-hit areas are being allowed to return home after record rainfall that left thousands cut off and at least 26 people dead.

Clean-up efforts have also started after evacuation orders were lifted in the southern island of Kyushu.

A year's worth of rain fell in some areas over the weekend, causing landslides. 

Troops are airlifting supplies to those trapped in mountainous areas and seeking at least six missing people.

Residents have started to clean up the mud and debris from their homes, with felled trees and debris also being removed from the roads. 

"We are stepping up efforts to remove rubble as roads remain covered with mud at many points," Masatatsu Minoda, an official from Kumamoto prefecture, was quoted by AFP news agency as saying.

"Workers are engaged in clean-up efforts while taking care against possible further landslides. We may have to stop working if it rains heavily again."

BBC Weather's Helen Willetts explains how the torrential rain is formed .The weather agency says the worst is over but it warns that even a small amount of rainfall could trigger further landslides, says the BBC's Mariko Oi in Tokyo.

More rain and thunderstorms were being forecast for some areas, reports said.

On Sunday officials said 26 people were known to have died in Kumamoto, Oita and Fukuoka prefectures. Reports said most of the victims were elderly people in their 70s and 80s.

Evacuation orders were issued on Saturday for a quarter of a million people. The orders were lifted in most areas on Sunday as the rain stopped and many people were allowed to return to their homes.

Heavy rain has also caused flooding in parts of Japan's historic capital, Kyoto, on the main island of Honshu.

Iowa news : 2 Iowa girls still missing ,$15,000 reward on found girl

Iowa news : 2 Iowa girls still missing ,$15,000 reward on found girl

Two young Iowa girls remain missing despite the efforts of more than 1,100 volunteers and law enforcement officers to find them, authorities said.

Authorities in Evans dale said Sunday night there were no indications cousins Elizabeth Collins, 8, and Lyric Cook-Morrison, 10, were the victims of foul play, though the possibility had not been ruled out, The Des Moines Register reported.

"We've covered everything we can cover with civilian people," Marcus Norman, the Evansdale Fire Department's volunteer coordinator, said. "Law enforcement is still working on the residential areas and things of that sort."

A $15,000 reward is being offered in the disappearance of the girls, who were last seen about 12:15 p.m. Friday by their grandmother as they headed out for a bike ride. Their bikes were found about 4 p.m. Friday at nearby Meyers Lake. Elizabeth's purse and cellphone were found about 20 feet away.

Dragging the lake and an extensive search of the entire city and surrounding vicinity by the army of volunteers turned up no further sign of the girls, the newspaper said.

The girls' families said they haven't given up hope.

"Sometimes when you think about it, you wonder if they're dead somewhere, but you try to push those thoughts out of your mind," said Misty Cook-Morrissey, Lyric's mother. "It's been good talking to people. ... It keeps your mind off of what's happening."

Elizabeth Collins' mother, Heather Collins, said would be unusual for her daughter to stray very far from home on her own.
