BOISE, Idaho—Prosecutors charged an Idaho man Wednesday with destroying or concealing two sets of human remains after police said they uncovered children’s bodies at his home while searching for evidence in the disappearance of his wife’s two kids.

The remains, found at Chad Daybell’s rural Idaho property Tuesday, have not yet been identified, but a prosecutor said they belonged to children and the way one was concealed was “particularly egregious.” He didn’t elaborate. The finding marked a gruesome turn in an investigation that has drawn global attention for its ties to two other mysterious deaths and the couple’s doomsday beliefs.
