DELRAY BEACH — Divers from the Boca Raton Police Department joined Delray Beach police and fire-rescue this morning in a renewed search of a canal for any additional clues that might lead them to the identities of two kids' bodies found stuffed in luggage in the brackish water.

The divers are preparing to go into the waters of the C-15 canal near Congress Avenue, and plan to push their search as far west as Military Trail today, according to police department officials.

The Boca Raton Police Dive Unit has lent Delray a remote-controlled submarine, and the use a side scan sonar machine to be used underwater by the divers, the officials said.

Since around 9 a.m., police have been out trolling in boats.

Delray police spokeswoman Nicole Guerriero said they are not searching for another body, but for evidence in the case of the kids found Wednesday.

"We have no reason to believe that there are more bodies in the water," she said.

After Wednesday's horrific discoveries, at 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., detectives are attempting to learn how the children - both of whom are African-American - died, and to track down who dropped them in the water.

The girl had been shoved into a black duffel bag. The boy was folded into a suitcase.

Both had been placed in the long, wide C-15 canal that divides Boca Raton and Delray and stayed there until Wednesday, when a passerby spotted a strange little buoy bobbing near the city's south side.

Police divers went into the water twice, 612 hours apart, and emerged cradling little bodies, children who had died and were cast off like old shoes, investigators said.

The bags were found about a half-mile apart in the canal near Avocet Road and Carl Bolter Drive. The canal stretches between U.S. 441 and the Intracoastal Waterway and flows under almost every major north-south road in Palm Beach County. The water flows east or west, depending on the tides.

"We're taking this personal," Guerriero said this morning. "We want to know who these kids were; and who could have done this to them."

She said police are still waiting on cause of death from the Palm Beach County Medical Examiner's Office.
