Law enforcement officers have discovered the remains of a young boy at a compound in Amalia, New Mexico, that was raided over the weekend, the county sheriffs office confirmed Tuesday.

The Taos County Sheriffs Office went to the makeshift compound on Friday to search for a missing 3-year-old boy, AG Wahhaj. They discovered 11 children and five adults living in a small trailer buried underground and covered in plastic and tires.

A representative of the sheriffs office confirmed to HuffPost on Tuesday that a boys remains had also been recovered during the search but that the childs identity was not yet determined.

Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe said in a statement on Monday that two men, Siraj Wahhaj and Lucan Morton, and three women believed to be the childrens mothers, were arrested and charged with 11 counts of child abuse.

The children, ages 1 to 15, were taken into protective custody.

The only food we saw were a few potatoes and a box of rice in the filthy trailer, the sheriff said at a news conference. Both the adults and the children looked like refugees not only with no food or fresh water, but with no shoes, personal hygiene and basically dirty rags for clothing. We all gave the kids our water and what snacks we had it was the saddest living conditions and poverty I have seen.

The search for the missing boy began in January, when Wahhajs estranged wife in Atlanta, Hakima Ramzi, reportedly recorded a video on Facebook pleading for help finding her son.
