The Latest on the arrest of a Colorado man in the disappearance of his family (all times local):6:30 p.m.A lawyer for a Colorado man suspected in the deaths of his pregnant wife and two young daughters says the daughters' bodies were submerged in crude oil for four days before they were found. In another motion, Merson asks that DNA samples be taken from the hands and nails of the body of the girls' mother. On Thursday, investigators found the bodies of his wife, Shanann Watts, and their daughters, ages 3 and 4. Accusations that a man killed his pregnant wife and two young daughters is prompting questions about Colorado's lack of a law allowing homicide charges in the violent deaths of fetuses. Shanann Watts, who was pregnant, and the couple's 3-year-old and 4-year-old daughters were found dead in northern Colorado on Thursday.
