The victim's children, 1-year-old Aiyana Jones, 2-year-old Mercalli Jones, 5-year-old Preston Bowers and 10-year-old Cameron Bowers, have not yet been located.

The family was last seen in August in the town of Ocala, Fla., about 40 miles south of the city of Gainesville, where the family lives, Fox News reports.

The mother of the victim, Nikki Jones, reported her daughter missing on Sept. 14 after going weeks without hearing from her.

"They don't know where she's at," she told WOFL. "They went to the house and she's gone. The house is empty."

"I've never ever been so scared," she added.
