Two girls, who were found dead in a canal, earlier this week have been identified, said Florida. 

Police said that the two girls were Daysha Hogan, 7, and Destiny Hogan, 9, daughters of Tinessa Hogan, 36.

Police further added that Mother Tinessa could be the person of interest in the death.

Lauderhill police Lt. Mike Bigwood said that the investigations are being held onto all the possibilities including reports that the mother was spotted Monday in the water of the canal asking if she could baptize people. 

"I don't know what her personal beliefs are. We have similar information … that she was in the canal, that she was offering to baptize people in the neighborhood. That is an angle that we're exploring," he said. "Again, we reach out to the community for information on that particular subject."

Bigwood said the mother was contacted by police, but "she is not in the community right now and we're not at liberty to say where she is."
