YAZOO CITY, Miss. - The bodies of three family members who disappeared from their home on Valentine's Day were found yesterday in a wooded area of Mississippi, and a relative was charged with murder, authorities said.

District Attorney James Powell told The Associated Press the bodies had been identified as Michael and Rebecca Hargon and their son, James Patrick, 4.

Bill Hirtz, Rebecca Hargon's father, said the discovery gave him a measure of solace.

'At least I know where they were at,' he said in a telephone interview.

Truck driver Earnest Lee Hargon, 43, cousin of Michael Hargon, was arrested Friday on unrelated drug charges. Yesterday, he was charged with murder and held without bond. Friends and relatives of the family, many visibly shaken, attended the brief court appearance.

Blood and spent bullet casings were discovered at the family's home in Yazoo County after their disappearance. Investigators have not found a murder weapon.
