Mother charged after siblings discovered in filthy vehicle.
A woman has been arrested after two sick children, one of whom died, were found in car in Marysville, Washington.
The crime scene inside the car was so dirty police had to wear hazmat suits to conduct their investigation.
Two children, who police say are sisters, were found in the car, one of them dead, another clinging to life.
"Our community is in grieving right now. Not only for the little one who continued her journey, but the parents. Anytime we lose somebody it just affects us so much," said tribal chairman Mel Sheldon.
Tribal leaders suspect this was a drug house of some sort, but what else was going on isn't clear.
