Larry’s family said they drove in from Tallahassee after police called them to say that the burning vehicle belonged to their nephew.

"Words can't express what we are feeling now," aunt Natasha Thompson said.

After firefighters were able to put out the fire, two bodies were found inside.

Investigators said they are too badly burned to identify.

The family said they have been trying to reach their nephew all day.

"He's not answering the phone and it's just a tragedy," uncle Raynard Thompson said.

While they are still waiting for the medical examiner to make a positive identification of the two victims, Larry’s family is walking the neighborhood, knocking on doors and looking for answers,

"We're asking and pleading if anyone knows something please, please let us know; let the family know," Natasha Thompson said.

The last time they were with Larry was three weeks ago at a family homecoming and they said they are praying it won’t be the last.

"If you have a son or a daughter, you have to have compassion and find a place in your heart come and speak to somebody," Raynard Thompson said.

Police said they should have the victims’ names by Thursday. The family is asking people to reach out to them if they saw anything that can help investigators.
