The bodies believed to be four missing people from Greenbrier County, including two children, have been found. Now police are looking for the man who they believe killed them.

State police say Steven Hendrix of Rainelle, his girlfriend Amber Martin and his two children ages 6 and 4 were reported missing on Monday. They had not been seen since Saturday, May 19.

On Friday their missing vehicle, a 2003 Chevy Venture van, was found off of Brushy Meadow Creek Road, near Carl, in Nicholas County.

Police say no one was found around the vehicle but the condition of the van indicated that foul play was involved.

Then this Saturday, while executing a search warrant, members of the West Virginia State Police found four bodies in a wooded area approximately one mile from where the van was found. The bodies are believed to be those of Hendrix, his girlfriend and two children.

Police have identified James Roy Belknap as a suspect. Belknap’s whereabouts are unknown. He may be driving a white Ford F-150, or a Chevrolet Monte Carlo.

If you know where Belknap is call 911.
