"They seem in good health and spirits," Pelura said.

The girls may be cousins with mothers named Nicole and Jasmine and fathers named Troy and Quan, according to Pelura. He said the girls weren't sure of where they lived, only that their home is blue or white.

Heaven was wearing a white shirt, tan leggings and mismatched tan and pink slippers. Tinka was wearing a blue shirt with a pink flower, blue leggings and Minnie Mouse slippers.

Pelura asked anyone who has information about the girls to call 856-935-0057.
