Buffalo, NY (WBEN) Buffalo Police say they are trying to determine the identities of those found inside a burned out vehicle on Tonawanda Street. They are also trying to determine if there's a link to a three year old boy who was found sleeping on a porch Monday morning.

Rinaldo acknowledges the possible link between the fire and the three year old boy. "As of right now, this is a missing persons investigation regarding the mother, the father and a friend of the parents" of the child. "We believe these people may have arrived in Buffalo sometime Sunday night and were here in the Buffalo area. We will not know the identities for quite some time. We will require the services of a forensic anthropologist to piece together what happened," says Rinaldo.
