TUPELO, Miss. (AP) – Authorities say the bodies of a 13-year-old girl and two adults have been found in a house in rural Lee County.

Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson tells The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal (http://bit.ly/ZUzLdB ) that the bodies were found in the kitchen and living room of the residence in the Belden community.
