Topeka, KS, Dec. 10 - Three bodies were recovered today from the ruins of a Shawnee County home destroyed by fire early yesterday. The search continues for the fourth missing member of the family.

State fire marshal's investigators say the Shawnee County coroner will conduct autopsies. And the cause of the fire is still being sought.

Killed in the fire were 41-year-old Traci Grady and three children: seven-year-old McKenzie Grady, four-year-old Christopher Grady and two-year-old Clayton Grady. Traci Grady's husband, Tim, was working.

A 19-year-old daughter, Lacey Grady, and her two-month-old son, Logan, escaped by jumping from a second-floor window. She ran barefoot through the snow to summon help. Both were treated for minor injuries.
