Police said the remains of Police Senior Master Sergeant Diane Marie Mollenido and her son, John Ysmael, were recovered from two different locations. Mollenido’s body was found Jan. 24 along the Pulilan Bypass Road in Bulacan, while her son’s body was discovered five days later at a calamansi farm in Victoria, Tarlac.
