DETROIT (WJBK) - Two women are found dead inside the trunk of a Chrysler 300 on Detroit's east side. The cousins had been considered missing by their family since Sunday morning before this gruesome discovery was made.

Demesha Hunt and Renisha Landers were last seen at a bar called Blackberry on Grand River. 

Their family reported them missing to police on Sunday.

On Monday, a 16-year-old boy noticed a relatively new Chrysler 300 parked between two burned out homes on Promenade Street.  He walked up to the car and saw two dead women in the trunk.

On Fox 2 News at 5:00 p.m., Alexis Wiley reported the news of the discovery. The television report prompted several families of missing women to head to the scene. 

For one family, the discovery becomes a nightmare.

Play the video to get the report from Fox 2's Alexis Wiley.

Demesha Hunt has a 10-month-old baby. Renisha Landers worked at one of the local Chrysler plants.

Detroit Police continue the investigation into the deaths of the two women.
