RAPID CITY, S.D. (Rapid City Journal) — Family members of two cousins found dead on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation say they’re saddened, yet relieved to how what happened to the men more than two months after they went missing near Manderson.

Robert "RJ" Kills Enemy Jr. and Vincent "Stevie" Little Dog were last seen Dec. 27. Their bodies were found last Friday and on Monday.

Kills Enemy's mother and Little Dog's aunt, Willene Kills Enemy, says it's a sad time for the family, but there is relief in knowing they have been found.

The Rapid City Journal reports the Oglala Lakota County Sheriff’s Office, tribal agencies, and many volunteers searched for the cousins.

Authorities have not said how the men may have died.
