Wharton County sheriff’s authorities say a 36-year-old man, Robert Satterfield, is charged with murder for the deaths.
Satterfield, who already was in custody in neighboring Fort Bend County, led officials to the site where authorities say someone tried to burn the bodies.
Satterfield was discovered Thursday driving the car of missing 24-year-old Maya Rivera, a licensed massage therapist.
She, her boyfriend, 28-year-old Rayshawn Hudson, and their 5-year-old son, Rayshawn Jr., were reported missing last week.
She was last seen June 10. The family lived in Angleton, just south of Houston.
‘It is believed these remains to be the same of Hudson, Rivera and their child,’ the Wharton County Sheriff’s Office said on Sunday.

She said her grandson, Rayshawn Jr., idolized his father to the point where he also took up horses and trail riding, just like his dad.
‘Anything his daddy did, he wanted to be right behind him,’ she said.
Rayshawn Jr. also helped his grandfather, who has Alzheimer’s Disease, find restrooms and remember names, Rivera said.
