EDMONTON, KENTUCKY (BNO NEWS) -- An Amber Alert has been issued for a boy and a girl after the boy's guardians were found dead in southern Kentucky on Tuesday, state police said. It is unclear if they were involved in their deaths.

Kentucky State Police spokesman Billy Gregory said 12-year-old Kyra Shockley and 15-year-old Christopher Endicott were reported missing after Endicott's guardians were found deceased at their residence in Metcalfe County. The victims had been given custody of Endicott in January, but were not related to Shockley.

"We are not sure if it was a double homicide or a homicide-suicide or what it was. That is still kind of up in the air for us right now. We don't have a lot of facts," Gregory said, adding that the cause of death was not yet established. He said their first concern is the well-being of the missing children.

The spokesman said Shockley and Endicott were not related to each other, but it remains unclear if they were involved in the deaths. "They are not related, but beyond that I do not know what the extend of the relationship is," Gregory said.

Police are asking people to look out for the children and emphasized that, in the case they were abducted, they could be traveling with other people. "We just don't want people looking for two kids," Gregory said. Police however have yet to find information leading to another person.

Shockley is described as a white female, weighs 110 pounds, stands 4-foot-8 and has blonde hair and hazel eyes. She has a scar on her left eye and wears black eye glasses with diamonds on the side. Her current clothing is unknown.

Endicott is described as a white male, weighs 250 pounds, stands 5-foot-11 and has a blonde buzz haircut and green eyes. He is believed to be wearing blue jeans, a t-shirt with a dark colored ball cap and multiple silly bands on each wrist.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Kentucky State Police Headquarters at 1-800-262-3717 or 911.
